[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters held a contest titled "Gyeonggi Fire Stories," featuring firefighters' experiences from the field, daily life, and unforgettable moments, and announced seven grand prize winners.

The Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters recently announced on the 24th that after a review, Firefighter Park Jin-pyeong from Yangpyeong Fire Station was selected as the grand prize winner for his work "Orange Chick, Dreaming of Kkokkio."

Earlier, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters conducted the contest under the theme "In the Field, Gyeonggi Fire Stories" from September 6 to October 26, targeting firefighters.

The grand prize-winning piece, "Orange Chick, Dreaming of Kkokkio," candidly narrates the story of how the author, after witnessing a large fire for the first time in his life and seeing firefighters skillfully and swiftly extinguish it, developed a dream of becoming a firefighter himself.

The excellence awards went to Firefighter Park Chan-woo of Suwon Nambu Fire Station for "Flowers Bloom Even in Mud" and Fire Lieutenant Bae Hyun-woong of Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters for "My Life as a Dog (개 같은 내 인생)." The encouragement awards were given to Fire Sergeant Kim Young-joo of Goyang Fire Station for "Kim Dae-won is My Hero," Fire Sergeant Hyun Ja-young of Songtan Fire Station for "No One's Life Can Be Judged Carelessly," and Fire Lieutenant Kim Yong-pil of Gapyeong Fire Station for "Absolutely!!! Must Save!"

The Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters will select 100 works from the contest entries and publish them in a booklet titled "Gyeonggi-do Fire Stories" at the end of December.
