Jeonnam Hampyeong Fire Station Wins Encouragement Award in 'National Safety 119-Second Video Contest'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Hampyeong Fire Station won the Encouragement Award at the ‘National Safety 119-Second Video Contest’.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 6th, this contest was jointly hosted by the National Fire Agency, the Korea Communications Agency, and the Korea Fire Safety Institute. It was promoted for two months from September 15 to raise awareness of the value of fire safety through videos created directly by the public and to build public consensus.

Any citizen interested could submit videos under 119 seconds on topics related to fire, disaster, and safety in any form, including vlogs, documentaries, and campaigns.

Hampyeong Fire Station promoted the importance of fire extinguishers with a twist through a clever idea using the double meaning of the word 소화 (消化, digestion) in an animation titled ‘Sohwa Bullyang’ (Indigestion).

Additionally, the video ‘The Best Way to Protect What Is Precious Is Prevention,’ produced in the form of a psychological counselor consulting on safety awareness evaluation reports written by ordinary people, was praised for providing an opportunity for viewers to reflect on their own safety awareness.

A fire station official said, “It was a great opportunity to empathize and communicate about safety, an essential element for the happy lives of citizens,” and added, “We will continue to devise various measures to make safety more familiar.”

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Fire also won the grand prize and the excellence award at the ‘Our Own Field Response Technique Video Contest’ held in August. These videos can be viewed on the Jeonnam Fire YouTube channel.
