The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters announced on the 1st that it held the '2023 Fit Firefighter Selection Contest' on the 31st of last month at the Gyeonggi Fire School auditorium to build a more trusted image of Gyeonggi firefighters at disaster sites based on strong physical fitness.
On the day of the contest, 16 contestants from 12 fire stations across the province competed, showcasing the skills they had honed.
The contest proceeded in three rounds: the first round involved a fire uniform inspection where contestants took prescribed poses shirtless and wearing fire pants; the second round was a uniform inspection with contestants posing in the standard uniform; and the third round was the final comparison judging where contestants took poses designated by the judges.
As a result of the contest, Firefighters Lee Hose and Eom Seunghyun were selected as first place winners for the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters and Gyeonggi Northern Headquarters, respectively.
Second place was awarded to Firefighter Jang Wonho from Osan Fire Station of the Headquarters and Firefighter Kim Jinsu from Yeoncheon Fire Station of the Northern Headquarters, while third place went to Firefighter Seo Gwanwoo from Siheung Fire Station of the Headquarters and Firefighter Kim Seungyeon from Ilsan Fire Station of the Northern Headquarters.
The top three winners from each headquarters will receive commendations from the governor and will represent Gyeonggi-do at the national competition scheduled for the 13th.
Cho Sungho, head of the Gyeonggi Fire and Disaster Headquarters, expressed gratitude to the Gyeonggi firefighting family for preparing and participating in the contest despite their busy and demanding work schedules, and urged, "Let us strive to become a trusted and warm Gyeonggi Fire Service for the safety of the residents."
