Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Distributes 4-Language Translations of '119 Safety Call Service'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Im Jongbok) has actively promoted the 119 Safety Call Service subscription for foreigners.

On the 25th, Gwangsan Fire Station announced that on the 23rd, it signed a business agreement with the Gwangsan-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center to revitalize the 119 Safety Call Service and produced and delivered leaflets translated into four languages.

The 119 Safety Call Service is a service where, in case of an emergency, when a registered phone calls 119, the location and medical information are pre-identified by the 119 paramedics, who then promptly dispatch tailored emergency treatment and hospital transport.

To ensure that foreigners vulnerable to disaster situations can receive the same service as nationals, 1,200 copies of the 119 Safety Call Service leaflet were translated into English, Vietnamese, Khmer, and Chinese and delivered to the Gwangsan-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center.

Foreigners who wish to register for the service can either sign up directly at the Safety Reporting Center or fill out and submit an application form available at the fire station or the Gwangsan-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Gwangsan Fire Station.

Chief Im Jongbok said, “The 119 Safety Call Service is available to anyone, including patients, people with disabilities, elderly living alone, and foreigners,” adding, “We hope that the promotional materials for the 119 Safety Call Service we produced this time will be widely known among foreigners so that they can ensure their family’s safety.”
