SEOUL, August 28 (AJP) - Seoul's Seongdong District and Seongdong Fire Station conducted a joint fire response drill on Wednesday, focusing on electric vehicle (EV) fires.
Recognizing the critical importance of initial response in EV fire incidents, the drill combined educational sessions on early intervention techniques with realistic scenario-based training.
The exercise demonstrated professional firefighters isolating the affected vehicle from other parked cars, and then submerging it in a water tank for final extinguishment.
This drill underscores the growing attention to safety measures surrounding electric vehicles as their adoption increases in urban areas like Seoul.
