[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the afternoon of the 15th, the Gwangju Northern Fire Station announced on the 16th that it conducted a fire truck passage campaign around Unam Market together with the Seoyeong University Korea 119 Youth Corps members.

The campaign was held to foster fire safety culture awareness and build national consensus in celebration of the "November Fire Prevention Emphasis Month."

In particular, the Seoyeong University Korea 119 Youth Corps members, as novice drivers, took this opportunity to learn and share with citizens the necessity and importance of securing fire truck routes and the proper yielding techniques for fire trucks, creating a moment of mutual understanding.

Alongside fire officials and volunteer firefighters around Unam Market, the campaign included ▲ requests to prevent winter fires by cautioning the use of heating appliances ▲ street promotions for yielding to fire trucks ▲ fire truck ride-along experiences for Korea 119 Youth Corps members ▲ campaigns to eradicate illegal parking near fire facilities.

Joo Sun-mi, head of the 119 Disaster Response Division, stated, “To secure the golden time, it is necessary for citizens to yield and make way for fire trucks,” and urged, “When a fire truck approaches with sirens on, please yield with the thought that it is going to save your family.”
