[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Amid the ongoing shortage of urea solution caused by China, a citizen who donated three containers of urea solution to the 119 Safety Center and then disappeared has become a topic of interest.

According to Incheon Songdo Fire Station on the 6th, a man appeared at the Sinsong 119 Safety Center in Songdo-dong at around 10:09 PM the previous day, left three 10-liter containers of urea solution, and then vanished.

The man, wearing black pants and a beige outer garment, took three boxes out of the trunk of an SUV and placed them at the entrance of the center before leaving the scene.

Later, the center staff discovered the boxes. Inside were containers of urea solution, but there were no letters or notes.

The fire station believes that the man donated the urea solution out of concern for the prompt dispatch of fire trucks amid the shortage of urea solution.

They added, "We analyzed CCTV footage to identify the man, but due to unclear image quality, we could not confirm the vehicle number," and expressed gratitude to the man who donated the urea solution.

Meanwhile, urea solution is an essential item for diesel engine vehicles and is used in nitrogen oxide reduction devices.

Among the 6,758 fire trucks operated by the fire authorities, 80.5%, and among the 1,675 ambulances, 90% use urea solution. These vehicles cannot start at all without urea solution.

However, due to China's recent ban on urea exports, the price of urea solution has skyrocketed, and it remains difficult to obtain.
