경기도소방이 의용소방대 활동영역을 확대하고 전문능력 향상에 심혈을 기울인다.
경기도에는 428개대 1만1049명의 의용소방대원들이 화재진압과 구조구급, 화재예방, 주민 생활지원 등 도민 안전을 위해 앞장서 활동하고 있다.
도 소방재난본부는 올해 의용소방대 운영 활성화를 꾀할 방침이다.
가장 눈에 띄는 점은 의용소방대원을 활용한 지역맞춤 화재예방 활동이다. 지난해 군포소방서가 시범 실시한 산본지역 ‘화재예방 청소의 날’ 운영이 우수사례로 손꼽힌다. 건물과 건물사이 방치된 폐기물과 쓰레기 등 화재발생 위험요인을 제거함으로써 화재예방에 크게 기여할 수 있다.
또한 화재 시 다수인명피해가 우려되는 요양시설의 근무자를 의용소방대원으로 영입, 맞춤교육을 통해 재난 발생 시 신속하게 대응할 수 있는 요양시설안전지킴이를 운영할 계획이다.
의용소방대원 전문능력 향상에도 공을 들여 올해 처음으로 의용소방대원 소방안전관리자 2‧3급 자격취득도 지원한다.

Gyeonggi-do firefighting, expanding the field of volunteer fire brigade in 2021
Encourage the improvement of professional skills such as support shooting for fire safety manager qualification acquisition
The Gyeonggi Fire Department expands the scope of the voluntary fire brigade and focuses on improving professional skills.
In Gyeonggi-do, 428 units of 10,49 voluntary firefighters are taking the lead for the safety of residents, including fire suppression, rescue first aid, fire prevention, and living support for residents.
The Metropolitan Fire & Disaster Headquarters is planning to revitalize the operation of the voluntary fire brigade this year.
The most striking point is the fire prevention activities tailored to the area using volunteer firefighters. The operation of the “Fire Prevention and Cleaning Day” in the Sanbon area, which was piloted by the Gunpo Fire Department last year, is considered one of the best examples. It can greatly contribute to fire prevention by removing the risk factors of fire occurrence such as waste and garbage left between buildings and buildings.
In addition, it is planned to operate a nursing facility safety guard that can promptly respond in case of a disaster through customized training by recruiting workers at nursing homes who are concerned about damage to a large number of people in the event of a fire.
We will also provide support for the first time this year to acquire qualifications for fire safety managers of Level 2 and 3 by making efforts to improve the professional skills of volunteer firefighters.
