DB Insurance, Supporting Firefighters for 18 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] DB Insurance announced on the 28th that it has been sponsoring the 'KBS119 Awards' for 18 years to commend the efforts of firefighters and to promote safety awareness throughout society.

The KBS119 Awards were initiated in June 1995 with the support of the National Fire Agency to honor firefighters who demonstrated dedicated on-site activities, including life-saving efforts, during the collapse of the Sampoong Department Store.

This year's grand prize was awarded to firefighter Lee Soo-yoon of the Goyang Fire Station in Gyeonggi Province, who joined the fire service in September 2002 and has responded to 271 fire scenes and 969 rescue operations, saving 364 lives to date.

The main award was given to 21 firefighters, the Volunteer Award and the Merit Award were each presented to one recipient, and two organizations received Special Awards.

A DB Insurance official stated, "We will continue to carry out community-based social contribution projects that bridge the gap between the company and society to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and practice the fundamental spirit of insurance, which is sharing."
