[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters announced on the 7th that the Hapcheon Daycare Center team, representing Gyeongnam at the 9th Korea General Public Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Competition held by the National Fire Agency, won the Gold Prize, the Fire Chief's Award.

Under the team name "Eung·Pyeong·4·U*," they performed a CPR performance and won the Gold Prize among 13 cities and provinces. The team name means "In case of an emergency, regain composure, the 4-minute deadline, we protect."

Oh Kyung-hee, a teacher on the team, said, "Through this competition, I had the opportunity to systematically learn and internalize CPR," adding, "I gained confidence to respond calmly even if an emergency requiring first aid occurs at the daycare center."
