A total of 110 personnel maintain an emergency duty posture, with 22 people on duty each day.

Governor Lee then visited the Gyeongsangbuk-do Fire Headquarters, which has entered special Chuseok alert duty, to encourage the firefighters.

He urged, “Please thoroughly prepare for fire prevention in multi-use facilities including traditional markets and various safety accidents, and respond promptly in case of emergency rescue and first aid situations.”

Starting on the 17th with visits to young small business owners’ stores in Andong, shopping at traditional markets, and the Love Han-don Medical Workers Sharing Event hosted by the Han-don Association, Governor Lee has been attending to the Gyeongbuk-style livelihood economy field.
