Hampyeong Fire Station Conducts Volunteer Activities for Farms Affected by COVID-19

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Hampyeong Fire Station (Chief Im Donghyun) is working hard to help with onion harvesting and other labor at farms struggling due to the impact of 'COVID-19'.

Hampyeong Fire Station announced on the 5th that more than 60 firefighters participated in volunteer activities by visiting farms affected by 'COVID-19' in Eomda-myeon, Hampyeong-gun.

Since its opening on November 12, 2018, the fire station has visited farms every year to support labor.

This year, due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation and delays in the entry of foreign workers, there have been more difficulties in securing agricultural labor compared to other years, so Hampyeong Fire Station staff voluntarily participated in volunteer activities to help even a little.

The staff who participated in this volunteer activity spent meaningful sharing time with several colleagues while harvesting onions with bright expressions.

Im Donghyun, chief of Hampyeong Fire Station, said, "It seems that we have provided a small but precious help to farms struggling with labor shortages due to COVID-19," and added, "I hope both the farms and Hampyeong Fire Station will bear good fruit this year."
