Yoon Appoints Nam Hwa-young as New Fire Agency Deputy Commissioner
President Yoon Suk-yeol announced on the 4th that he has appointed Nam Hwa-young, Deputy Commissioner of the Fire Agency (acting Commissioner), as the new Commissioner of the Fire Agency.
Commissioner Nam, originally from Bonghwa, Gyeongbuk, graduated from Andong High School and the Department of Physics at Pusan National University. After entering the fire service in 1986 as a fire scholarship student, he has held various positions including Head of Jeju Fire Safety Headquarters, Head of Daegu Fire Safety Headquarters, Head of Gyeongbuk Fire Headquarters, and Director of Fire Policy Bureau and Fire Prevention Bureau at the Fire Agency.
Commissioner Nam has led the fire service for six months since last October, when former Commissioner Lee Heung-gyo was suspended from his position amid a prosecution investigation into bid-rigging allegations related to the National Fire Hospital, with Nam serving as acting Commissioner.
