Subsequently, the 119 emergency responders who arrived after receiving a report transported the patient, who was complaining of dizziness, to a nearby hospital.

Lee said, “I didn’t even have time to think; I saw the grandmother collapse and immediately ran over.”

He added, “The Gyeongbuk Provincial Council’s Construction and Firefighting Committee, during visits to fire stations for on-site inspections, not only receives status reports and checks equipment but also inspects the training status of the staff and receives CPR and fire extinguisher usage training together with the firefighters. The training I received regularly was a great help on the scene.”
