A county official said, “We are always grateful to the Yeonggwang Volunteer Fire Brigade federation members who serve as a strong support for firefighters who rush first to crisis situations and lead COVID-19 prevention efforts in each town and township to help create a safe Yeonggwang. We ask that you continue to devote yourselves to firefighting activities and infectious disease prevention and quarantine.”
