A new multipurpose facility combining safety experiences, play, and education is opening in the Sinpyeong-Jangnim area of Saha-gu, Busan.
The Busan Metropolitan Government announced it will hold the "2nd Happy Challenge Fire-Specialized Deullak-Nallak Completion Ceremony" at the Saha Fire Station Deullak-Nallak on the afternoon of the 3rd. Approximately 100 people are expected to attend, including Mayor Park Hyung-joon, Saha District Mayor Lee Gap-jun, and local residents.
"Happy Challenge" is a project that reorganizes streets, parks, and living spaces around people to expand exchange and communication among citizens. It is a flagship initiative of the city's "15-Minute City Busan" program. Following the first phase in the Danggam-Gaegeum area, the city has been advancing second-phase projects in the Gwebeop-Gamjeon and Sinpyeong-Jangnim areas. In the Sinpyeong-Jangnim area, infrastructure expansion projects are underway, including an open-campus renovation of Hyorim Elementary School, a green carpet at Jangnim Catholic Church, and an open park at Sinpyeong Station plaza.
The newly opened "Fire-Specialized Deullak-Nallak" serves as a key hub for the Sinpyeong-Jangnim Happy Challenge project. The aging fire training tower, which is over 40 years old, and the underutilized first-floor safety experience center have been renovated into a multipurpose complex combining safety experiences, play, and education.
The facility is designed with a focus on hands-on experiences. The first floor houses the Deullak-Nallak space with fire service-related books and digital content. The second floor features a CPR training area led by firefighters. The third floor offers fire extinguisher and fire truck experience zones, while the fourth floor provides a fire escape simulation. The design allows children and families to naturally engage with safety education.
The exterior design also draws attention. Graphics featuring "Bugi," the city's communication mascot reimagined as a firefighter, along with bright colors, emphasize approachability. This design excellence earned a Gold Prize at the Global Design iT Award 2025.
Mayor Park Hyung-joon said, "Through the 2nd Happy Challenge, the Sinpyeong-Jangnim area is transforming from an industry-centered to a people-centered space," adding, "I hope the 'Fire-Specialized Deullak-Nallak' will establish itself as a community space where children learn safety and residents gather together."
