경남도, 내년 1월 119산불특수대응단 출범…정원 54명

Quick Look

경남도는 내년 1월 산불 진화 전문 조직인 119산불특수대응단을 출범시킨다고 밝혔다. 이는 경북, 강원도에 이어 전국 시도 중 세 번째로 운영하는 조직으로, 지리산권 산청군 금서면 옛 119안전센터를 임시청사로 활용하며 정원 54명, 소방정이 지휘한다.

Why It Matters

지난해 3월 산청군에서 발생한 산불이 하동군까지 번지며 10일간 이어졌고, 이로 인해 공무원과 진화대원 4명이 사망하고 3천㏊ 이상의 산림 및 시설이 피해를 입어 약 300억원의 재산 피해가 발생했다.

경남에 산불을 전문적으로 진화하는 전담 조직이 생긴다.

경남도는 119산불특수대응단이 내년 1월 출범한다고 5일 밝혔다.

도는 경북, 강원도에 이어 전국 시도 중 3번째로 119산불특수대응단을 운영한다.

지난해 3월 산청군에서 난 산불이 하동군까지 번지는 등 10일간 이어지며 공무원과 진화대원 4명이 숨지고 3천㏊가 넘는 산림, 주택, 농축산시설이 불에 타 300억원 가까운 피해를 냈다.

당시 도는 산불 진화에 특화한 전문 대응 기관 필요성을 절감했다.

기후변화 영향으로 앞으로 대형산불 발생 규모가 커지고 발생 빈도가 잦아지는 추세여서 산불 전문 대응조직 필요성이 더 커지는 상황이다.

도는 행정기구 설치조례를 개정해 소방본부 산하에 119산불특수대응단을 둔다.

기존 소방조직은 산불 발생 때 민가로 불길이 확산하는 것을 방지하는 등 민간인 보호를 중심으로 활동했다.

119산불특수대응단은 산길 이동이 가능한 전문진화차, 이동식 펌프, 불갈퀴 등 전문 진화장비를 갖추고 산림청과 협업해 직접 산불 진화에 나선다.

일선 소방서를 지휘하는 계급인 소방정이 정원 54명인 119산불특수대응단을 이끈다.

119산불특수대응단은 지리산권에 속한 산청군 금서면 옛 119안전센터를 리모델링해 임시청사로 활용한다.

Prolonged youth seclusion, coupled with aging parents, growing concerns about the '8050 problem'

According to a report by the Korea Economic Association and the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, as of 2024, the number of secluded youth is 537,800, accounting for 5.2% of the total youth population, more than double compared to 2022. The period of isolation also became longer, with the proportion of those in seclusion for more than 7 years rising from 4.0% to 6.0%. Experts diagnosed that the expansion of experienced and rolling recruitment in the labor market and the introduction of AI have made it difficult to find employment, and a vicious cycle is repeating itself due to the lack of sustainable jobs. In particular, concerns are raised that the crisis could expand into a livelihood and care crisis for the entire family, similar to the Japanese '8050 problem', coupled with the aging of the parents' generation, and it is pointed out that all-round policy support, including expansion of the scope of youth, is needed.
