Jeju Fire Station Awards Commendations to Distinguished Firefighting Personnel

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Fire Station (Chief Ko Jae-woo) announced on the 7th that it awarded commendations to those meritorious in fire suppression and rescue/first aid firefighting activities at the Jeju Fire Station chief's office.

On this day, commendations for firefighting activities were awarded to two employees of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Water and Sewage Headquarters and one general citizen who demonstrated various achievements in the fields of fire, rescue, and first aid.

Moon Tae-sik (male, 55) and Go Gyeong-pil (male, 45), employees of the Water and Sewage Headquarters, witnessed a fire that occurred at an annex building of Seohwacheon Village Hall in Hoecheon-dong at around 10:46 a.m. on the 26th of last month. After confirming that there was no one inside the building, they promptly reported it to 119 and attempted self-extinguishing using a nearby hose reel emergency fire extinguisher, contributing to minimizing property damage.

Kim Jong-ho (male, 61) witnessed an unconscious patient in the bathhouse of Tamna Disabled Welfare Center in Jeju City in May, reported to 119, and performed first aid, securing the golden time before the 119 ambulance arrived, thereby contributing to protecting the patient's life.

Ko Jae-woo, chief of Jeju Fire Station, said, “I express my deep gratitude to those meritorious in firefighting activities who showed dedication and great courage for the safety of the residents.”
