Mr. Kim Jong-hyun Who Prevented Major Fire at Namguro Market Awarded 'Proud Guro Citizen Award'
August 10 Fire at Namguro Market Contained Early, Preventing Casualties and Property Damage
On the 9th, Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) awarded a plaque of commendation, the 'Proud Citizen Award,' to a man in his 20s who prevented a major fire through swift initial response at the Renaissance Hall of the district office.
Kim Jong-hyun, who received the Guro-gu Mayor's Commendation from Mayor Moon Heon-il on this day, witnessed a fire at Namguro Market late at night on August 10 while returning home and promptly reported it to 119.
He then used a nearby fire extinguisher to suppress the fire, preventing what could have escalated into a major disaster.
Namguro Market, where the fire occurred, is a representative traditional market in Guro-gu visited by an average of 10,000 people daily, with 204 stores in operation. Without calm and prompt action, this could have resulted in significant casualties and property damage.
