[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Muan Fire Station in Jeonnam (Chief Park Won-guk) has become a model after it was revealed that a volunteer firefighter from Mongtan-myeon initially extinguished a house warehouse fire that occurred in Daechi-ri, Mongtan-myeon on the 17th.

According to the Muan Fire Station on the 18th, volunteer firefighter Jang Chung-gi from Mongtan-myeon was working on onions near the house where the fire occurred when he saw smoke coming from the house. He moved to the fire scene on a power tiller and initially extinguished the fire using a pesticide spraying machine installed on the power tiller.

The fire started near a water bath heater used under the rain shelter of the house. If the initial extinguishing had failed in the sandwich panel structure building, the fire could have rapidly spread, causing more property damage.

Volunteer firefighter Jang Chung-gi said, “With the sense of duty as a volunteer firefighter and regular training in fire suppression and equipment operation, there was no difficulty in initially extinguishing the fire. I will continue to do my best for the safety of local residents.”

Park Won-guk, chief of the Muan Fire Station, said, “Thanks to the initial firefighting activities of the volunteer firefighter, a precious home was saved. I appreciate the efforts of the volunteer firefighter who succeeded in the initial extinguishing through quick response after discovering the fire.”
