Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade Pledges to Serve as Guardians of Local Safety

Holding Performance and Vision Workshop

The Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade Association reflected on the activities of the Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade in 2023 and pledged to protect the safety of the residents.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 13th, about 60 people, including the Volunteer Fire Brigade Association chairpersons and fire officials, attended the two-day workshop held at the Suncheon Eco Grad Hotel starting the previous day.

At this event, they shared opinions on this year’s major achievements and next year’s operational plans.

In Jeonnam, 11,000 volunteer firefighters are active across 538 teams. They assist firefighting activities at disaster sites and faithfully perform the role of local safety guardians through village responsibility systems for vulnerable groups.

This year, the Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade supported the successful hosting of mega-events such as the National Sports Festival and the Suncheon International Garden Expo through safety guarding and volunteer activities.

At the large forest fire sites in Suncheon and Hampyeong, they supported firefighting efforts and resident evacuations, and cared for safety-vulnerable groups through village safety guarding and elderly care services.

In July, they actively participated in flood recovery efforts in Yecheon, Gyeongbuk, which suffered extensive damage from heavy rains, directly practicing the spirit of cooperation and harmony between Yeongnam and Honam regions.

Jeong Jeongdu and Jeong Yunja, co-chairs of the Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade male and female associations, said, “The volunteer fire brigade’s hands have always been with the safety of the local community. We thank the volunteer firefighters for their hard work and will continue to work together as guardians of local safety.”

Hong Yeonggeun, head of the headquarters, stated, “We will do our utmost to ensure that the Jeonnam Volunteer Fire Brigade can take pride and become the nation’s top-class premium volunteer fire brigade.”
