[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Daelim Construction announced on the 20th that it has donated 100 million KRW to the Incheon Community Chest of Korea to support home fire safety equipment for fire-vulnerable households in the region. The donation ceremony held the day before was attended by Park Namchun, Mayor of Incheon Metropolitan City, Cho Namchang, CEO of Daelim Construction, and Shim Jaeseon, Chairman of the Incheon Community Chest of Korea.

The donation will be used to purchase and install fire extinguishers and gas leak detectors, which are used for initial fire response and suppression, for approximately 1,550 fire-vulnerable households. Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) this year, children and the elderly have been spending more time at home cooking, increasing the risk of fire. The tragic fire involving siblings in a villa in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, last September was also caused during food preparation.

CEO Cho said while delivering the donation, “I attended this meaningful event today to share the pain of Incheon City,” and added, “I hope this will provide practical help to fire-vulnerable groups so that such tragedies never happen again.”

Mayor Park said, “I believe that installing fire extinguishers and gas leak detectors will be a great help to fire-vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly,” and added, “We will continue to make every effort to prevent safety blind spots so that unfortunate fire incidents never occur again.”

Daelim Construction previously donated Onnuri gift certificates worth 35 million KRW in April to support vulnerable groups in the Incheon area struggling due to COVID-19, and has been continuously engaged in sharing activities for local residents, including emergency relief supplies support and kimchi-making events.
