[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Dong-guk] On the 27th, the Guri branch of Korea National Oil Corporation signed an emergency rescue system business agreement with the Guri Fire Station to contribute to the safety and protection of life of citizens in the metropolitan area.

This business agreement was prepared to establish a prompt and safe emergency transport medical system by the fire station and to support disaster response in case of emergency rescue situations for citizens in the metropolitan area.

Both organizations agreed to cooperate in ▲using the helipad during mountain accident rescues ▲mutual support of personnel and equipment in disaster accident response training.

In areas near the branch such as Achasan, mountain accidents frequently occur on weekends when hikers are crowded, but there are almost no hospitals with helicopter landing pads in the northeastern part of the metropolitan area.

Even before the signing of this agreement, the Guri branch used its helipad to transport a total of eight emergency patients to hospitals this year alone.

The Guri branch is equipped with loading and unloading facilities to ensure stable supply of reserved oil in preparation for oil supply disruptions in the metropolitan area including Seoul and Gyeonggi, and regularly conducts joint training with the fire station to respond efficiently to disasters and safety accidents.

Kim Deuk-rak, head of the Guri branch, said, “In the event of mountain safety accidents, we will actively open facilities such as the helipad owned by the branch to contribute to the establishment of a prompt emergency rescue system.”

Park Cheol-su, chief of the Guri Fire Station, said, “I think this agreement is very meaningful as it strengthens the cooperative system between the two organizations,” and added, “We will take this as an opportunity for the city’s safety culture to mature further through mutual cooperation in emergency transport for mountain accidents and disaster response.”
