[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 4th, the Gwangju Northern Fire Station held a certificate awarding ceremony for new members of the Seoyoung University Student Specialized Volunteer Fire Brigade in the main conference room of the fire station.

The "Volunteer Fire Brigade" is a volunteer organization that assists fire services by guarding and extinguishing fires, conducting rescue and first aid, evacuating and providing relief during disasters such as fires, ensuring safety at various event venues, and providing fire safety education to protect the lives and property of the public.

In particular, university student volunteer firefighters contribute to the local community by balancing their studies with activities such as collecting data on the volunteer fire brigade’s performance, promotional activities, and social service activities.

The Seoyoung University Student Specialized Volunteer Fire Brigade consists of 13 students majoring in Emergency Medical Services. They receive appointment certificates and preliminary education on fire prevention and first aid, and perform roles and duties as volunteer firefighters.

Lee Dong-young, chief of the Northern Fire Station, stated, “Through the operation of the specialized volunteer fire brigade based on the youth, expertise, and creativity of university students, we expect an important role in spreading a culture of safety among citizens by promoting innovative fire policies centered on the younger generation.”
