[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 29th, the Suncheon Fire Department announced that it awarded Heart Saver certificates and silver badges to nine individuals: Fire Lieutenant Kim Jong-moon, Fire Sergeant Kim Hyun-san, Ha Song-hee, Jeong Do-jin, Lim Dong-hyun, Hwang Hee-soo, Fire Corporal Choi Min-kyung, Choi Yoo-seok, and Jo Gye-jin. Additionally, Fire Corporal Jo Gye-jin and Firefighter Kim Hyo-young received Brain Saver certificates and silver badges.


In particular, the Suncheon Fire Department once again proved its expertise in field operations by producing the highest number of Heart and Brain Savers in Jeollanam-do.


The Heart Saver award means ‘a person who revived a life.’


It is an award given to firefighters or civilians who saved patients at risk of death due to cardiac arrest through active emergency treatment. The Brain Saver award is given to paramedics who contributed to minimizing aftereffects by promptly and accurately assessing and transporting patients with acute stroke (cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction).


The recipients of this Heart Saver honor revived the hearts of three cardiac arrest patients through swift and accurate patient assessment, emergency treatment, and appropriate hospital selection and transport. Two individuals, including Fire Corporal Jo Gye-jin, quickly identified the initial symptoms of stroke patients, minimizing aftereffects and helping citizens return to their daily lives after discharge.


Park Sang-jin, Chief of the Suncheon Fire Department, said, “I extend my congratulations and gratitude to all who received the Heart and Brain Saver awards. Please remember that the patients you saved are citizens we must protect and loved family members to someone. I hope you continue to be a pillar of support for emergency patients.”



The Suncheon Fire Department establishes annual plans for operating Heart, Brain, and Trauma Savers, awarding the Saver honor to paramedics who revive the lives of critically ill emergency patients or minimize damage, thereby fostering pride and encouraging active emergency treatment to improve survival rates.
