[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The wildfire that occurred in Ducheon-ri, Buk-myeon, Uljin, Gyeongbuk, has continued to turn the local mountains and fields into ashes, but warm kindness is blossoming amidst it.

Following free meals for firefighting personnel at lunch restaurants, meat restaurants, and snack bars, this time, Dae-gu Hot Springs is also offering free hot spring bath fees.

This is in hopes that the hardworking firefighters, who are fighting day and night on the front lines of wildfire suppression from far away to extinguish the Uljin wildfire, can wash away their fatigue from the tough firefighting work with a warm hot spring, even if only for a short time.

A representative of Dae-gu Hot Springs expressed gratitude to the firefighters, saying, “We hope they can warm their bodies in the hot spring water even if it is just a brief rest after the exhausting firefighting work.”

Choi Young-sook, Director of the Environment and Forest Resources Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, said, “Hearing stories about the warm hands of Uljin residents, although the beautiful nature of Uljin has turned to ashes, the warm hearts of the residents seem to be creating an even more beautiful Uljin,” and added, “We will concentrate all resources to complete wildfire suppression as soon as possible and do our best to stabilize residents’ lives and recovery.”
