The National 119 Youth Corps is visiting the Gyeonggi-do Special Response Unit for a commemorative event.

The Korea 119 Youth Corps recently visited the 'Gyeonggi-do Firefighting Aviation Exhibition Hall,' the first of its kind to open nationwide.

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters announced on the 28th that about 530 participants of the 119 Youth Corps Safety Camp visited the aviation exhibition hall located in Yongin over two days from the 26th to the 27th. They examined models of the country's and Gyeonggi-do's first firefighting helicopters and received explanations about their history and current status. Participants also had the opportunity to ride in a helicopter from the Gyeonggi-do Special Response Team.

Earlier, on the 12th, the Fire and Disaster Headquarters opened the nation's first firefighting aviation exhibition hall at the Gyeonggi-do Fire School in Yongin, within the Gyeonggi-do Special Response Team.

The firefighting aviation exhibition hall displays models of most of the firefighting helicopters currently in service, including the MD500 (named: Kkachi 2-ho), the country's first firefighting helicopter registered as a cultural asset, and the BELL-206, the first helicopter used by Gyeonggi Fire.
