Support Provided to Wildfire Suppression Personnel
Including Bottled Water and Instant Cup Noodles
Jin Byungyeong, the governor of Hamyang County in Gyeongnam, announced on the 24th that he personally visited the wildfire suppression site in Sicheon-myeon, Sancheong County to deliver relief supplies.
This support was provided in response to an urgent request from Sancheong County. Hamyang County held a meeting with relevant departments and decided on immediate assistance for a swift response.
Hamyang County urgently supplied instant cup noodles and bottled water worth approximately 10 million KRW to the personnel working to extinguish the wildfire. Notably, despite the request being made late at night, the county completed the delivery of supplies by 10 p.m. on the same day through prompt decision-making and action.
Governor Jin visited the on-site unified command center and met with Im Sangseop, the head of the Korea Forest Service, to discuss the progress of the wildfire and countermeasures for suppression. Im expressed gratitude for Hamyang County's swift support and emphasized the importance of close cooperation.
Governor Jin also encouraged those involved, stating, "I hope the wildfire will be completely extinguished as soon as possible so that the residents of Sancheong County can quickly return to their daily lives." He repeatedly urged the safety of the wildfire suppression personnel dedicated at the scene.
Meanwhile, as the risk of wildfire spread increases due to the recent dry weather, Hamyang County plans to further strengthen cooperation with neighboring local governments and continuously inspect wildfire prevention and response systems.
