Lee Gyundo, Fire Chief of Masan Fire Station in Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, was recently revealed to have rescued an elderly woman in danger while on vacation in Jeju Island.

On the 12th, while participating in a natural healing program for firefighters, Chief Lee was walking along the coast of Gapado Island in Jeju when he heard urgent shouting. Upon approaching the source of the sound, he saw an elderly woman waving her hand and urgently requesting help, and he rushed to the scene.

Chief Lee, a veteran firefighter with six years of experience and extensive emergency response background, immediately approached the woman to assess her condition. After identifying himself as a paramedic and reassuring her, he inquired about her situation. She explained that she had slipped on a rock while heading to the beach to gather seaweed and had collided with the rock, rendering her unable to move.

Judging that it would be difficult to move the elderly woman alone, Chief Lee called 119 and, together with three members of the Gapado Volunteer Fire Brigade, played a crucial role in safely transporting the patient.

Chief Lee stated, “I only did what any firefighter should do,” and added, “I hope the elderly woman recovers quickly. I am grateful to the volunteer fire brigade members who participated in the rescue.”
