[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Department pledged to further intensify its role as a guardian of residents' safety.

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 20th that it recently held the Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade Federation settlement general meeting at the conference room of Naju Jungheung Gold Spa Resort.

At this event, more than 80 people, including the presidents of the male and female volunteer fire brigades from 22 cities and counties in the province, attended to present this year’s achievements, conduct the settlement general meeting, and explore development directions for the next year.

Award ceremonies were also held for five volunteer firefighters who achieved excellent results in this year’s National Volunteer Fire Brigade Technical Competition and Lecture Contest.

Choi Youngmi, a female volunteer firefighter from Jinwon-myeon, Jangseong-gun, who naturalized in Vietnam and participated in the hose pulling event of the technical competition despite difficult family circumstances such as family illness, won first place nationwide.

Chief Ma Jaeyoon encouraged and supported Choi Youngmi’s hard work and generously donated 500,000 KRW from his own pocket as an encouragement prize.

Additionally, the Volunteer Fire Brigade Federation also delivered an encouragement prize of 500,000 KRW together.

This workshop became an occasion for communication and harmony to seek development directions for the next year through sharing and comparative analysis of information among cities and counties, as the volunteer fire brigades expanded their work areas from simple fire support tasks to various fields of daily safety.

Lee Joonghee, Head of the Response and Prevention Division, said in his greeting, “I thank the volunteer firefighters who have expanded their roles not only in fire support tasks but also as guardians of their hometowns and achieved excellent results in various competitions. Despite the difficult crisis caused by COVID-19, please take the lead in creating a hopeful Jeonnam.”
