On the 21st, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Fire Safety Headquarters announced that on the evening of the 18th, an anonymous donor delivered a snack package to the Hallim 119 Safety Center of the Jeju Western Fire Station.

Upon tracing the source of the snacks delivered that day, it was revealed that the gift was to express gratitude to Fire Lieutenant Kim Taeheon and Fire Sergeant Lee Seungjun, who saved a life with prompt first aid after visiting a swimming pool on the 15th for summer vacation, and to encourage the hard work of fire officials.

The Western Fire Station conveyed thanks through contact with the donor and proposed sharing for vulnerable groups. Accordingly, the snacks were delivered to a total of six social welfare facilities, including child care centers in Hallim-eup.

Fire Lieutenant Kim Taeheon and Fire Sergeant Lee Seungjun discovered the situation of a 5-year-old child being rescued at a swimming pool around 1:15 p.m. on the 15th. They immediately requested an AED and performed chest compressions, restoring the patient's consciousness and breathing. After the patient regained consciousness, the 119 ambulance team promptly arrived at the scene and safely transported the child to the hospital.

The Western Fire Station conveyed thanks through contact with the donor and proposed sharing for vulnerable groups. The 45 sets of chicken snacks were delivered to a total of six social welfare facilities, including child care centers in Hallim-eup, becoming a 'sharing relay' that spreads warmth.

The donor said, "Thanks to the firefighters' prompt first aid, the child miraculously regained health and was discharged," adding, "I was moved by Jeju Fire for protecting a precious life and helping ensure that this gift of gratitude is used in good places."

Chief Kim Suhwan said, "Protecting lives in emergency situations is the mission and instinct of fire officials and the moment they feel the greatest reward," and added, "We will deeply cherish this precious sentiment and continue to lead life protection by sweating for the safety of the residents."
