Sunchon Fire Chief Hasu-cheol Joins 'Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge'

Assemblyman So Byeong-cheol Identified as Next Successor

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 18th, Ha Soo-cheol, the head of the Suncheon Fire Station in Jeonnam, announced that the Children's Traffic Safety Challenge will continue.

The "Children's Traffic Safety Challenge Relay" is a campaign that spreads children's traffic safety slogans (Stop at 1! Look both ways at 2! Wait for 3 seconds! Prevent 4 dangers!) selected through a national idea contest, in a relay format to establish a culture prioritizing children's protection.

As the head of safety agencies in Suncheon City and Gurye County, who has consistently emphasized preventing accidents involving children, the Suncheon Fire Station stated, "Last year alone, the Suncheon Fire Station responded to 169 traffic accident scenes involving children and rescued and transported 46 injured persons to hospitals."

In a situation where a considerable number of accidents occur within the region, it is truly meaningful, and through this challenge, we hope that the awareness of prioritizing children's safety protection spreads widely beyond SNS to offline as well," supporting the will of Assemblyman So Byung-chul.

He continued, "We thank Assemblyman So Byung-chul and hope this opportunity becomes a starting point for sharing content that connects the central government and local communities," he said.

Meanwhile, the Suncheon Fire Station operates various programs to establish a children's fire safety culture, including visiting fire safety education, the SoSoSim experience classroom (fire extinguisher, fire hydrant, CPR training), the 119 Safety Experience Festival, and evacuation drills at local kindergartens and elementary schools.
