[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Vulnerable residents in the Gyeonggi area who lost their homes overnight due to fire and faced difficulties in making a living have seen a ray of hope thanks to the support agreement for fire victims between the Gyeonggi Fire and Disaster Headquarters and GC Green Cross Holdings.

On the 20th, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters held a ceremony to deliver living stabilization support funds to vulnerable fire victims at the video conference room of the headquarters building in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon, the next day, the 21st, announced. The ceremony was attended by Cho Sun-ho, head of the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters, Jang Pyeong-ju, GC division head, Green Cross officials, and Lee Soon-seon, chairman of the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest.

The Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters and GC selected five vulnerable fire victims in the province, including basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, and persons with disabilities who lost their homes due to fires this year, and delivered living stabilization support funds of 2 million won each.

Earlier, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with GC in September to cooperate in supporting fire victims in the province.

Cho Sun-ho, head of the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters, said, "I would like to thank GC for raising funds to support citizens affected by sudden fires and the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest for assisting in carrying out the project," adding, "I sincerely hope this will help fire victims overcome their pain and return to their daily lives, even if just a little."

He continued, "Going forward, the Gyeonggi Fire Department will take the lead in forming a social safety net to warmly embrace socially vulnerable groups in blind spots of protection."

The Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters is carrying out various projects for fire victims, including providing living stabilization support funds and housing restoration support. They are also preparing fire cause dispute mediation and insurance subscription support projects.
