[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station (Chief Lee Wonyong) announced on the 2nd that newly appointed Fire Chief Lee Wonyong has begun full-scale operations to ensure the safety of 430,000 Buk-gu citizens immediately upon his inauguration.

Newly appointed Chief Lee Wonyong skipped the inauguration ceremony, greeted the staff, and started his official duties by visiting Malbau Market to closely inspect fire-vulnerable sites within the jurisdiction and directly check safety facilities.

In particular, Chief Lee urged related parties to strengthen fire safety management thoroughly based on recent traditional market fire incidents, emphasizing that the difficulties heard through conversations with merchants will be actively reflected in the establishment of traditional market fire prevention measures.

Lee Wonyong, Chief of Bukbu Fire Station, said, “Since large-scale fire-vulnerable sites cause significant social and economic losses when fires occur, regular safety management is important,” and added, “Related parties should pay special attention to thorough prevention and management to prevent safety accidents.”

Meanwhile, Chief Lee, who assumed office as the Bukbu Fire Station Chief, entered public service in 1986 and has served with outstanding administrative skills and exceptional conviction for 34 years. He was inaugurated as the 16th Chief of Bukbu Fire Station this time.
