Opening of Wando Fire Station to Protect the "Clean Sea"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Wando Fire Station, which will protect the safety of Wando, Jeonnam, known as the "Clean Sea Capital of Korea," officially opened on the 31st.

About 70 people, including Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok, National Assemblyman Yoon Jae-gap, Wando County Mayor Shin Woo-cheol, provincial and county council members, and heads of organizations, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony to cheer for the vigorous start of the Wando Fire Station.

As the 18th fire station established in the Jeonnam region, the Wando Fire Station protects 49,975 residents across 3 eup and 9 myeon, as well as 265 beautiful islands, from the closest location.

With a total project cost of 5.32 billion won, it was constructed on a 12,158㎡ site with three above-ground floors.

Equipped with 147 firefighters, 36 fire trucks, and special equipment, the station plans to respond promptly and systematically not only to fire, rescue, and emergency dispatches but also to various civil service tasks.

Governor Kim said, "It is very reassuring that the fire station has opened at a time when fire service demand continues to increase due to the characteristics of island areas and population aging. I hope the Wando Fire Station becomes a reliable safety guardian trusted deeply by the county residents."

Wando Fire Station Chief Yoon Yesim stated, "I am grateful to everyone who actively supported the opening of the fire station, and I will do my best to protect the lives and property of the residents of Wando, the island of health, as a way to repay that support."
