On December 12, Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association (President Lim Chaecheong) announced that it had urgently delivered 250 sets of firefighter dispatch kits and supplies worth 10 million won to support firefighters engaged in rescue operations at the collapsed library site in Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Hope Bridge decided to provide emergency support immediately after the accident to help on-site firefighters recover their strength and maintain hygiene, given the prolonged rescue operations and overnight shifts.
