Gyeonggi Province Governor Nam Kyung-pil Delivers 10 Million Won to Yeosu Fishery Market Fire Victims

In response to the fire at Yeosu Fishery Market that broke out early on the 15th, Gyeonggi Province Governor Nam Kyung-pil urged the strengthening of safety measures for fire-vulnerable facilities across the province while instructing the preparation of provincial-level support measures for damage recovery at Yeosu Fishery Market.

Upon learning of the fire at Yeosu Fishery Market on the morning of the 15th, Governor Nam directed the Gyeonggi Province Disaster and Safety Headquarters, stating, "Most of the facilities in Gyeonggi Province's traditional markets are old and small shops are densely concentrated, raising concerns about the occurrence of large-scale fires." He added, "With the holiday season approaching, we must focus on comprehensive safety inspections of fire-vulnerable facilities such as multi-use facilities and nursing facilities where large numbers of people gather."

Governor Nam expressed his condolences, saying, "The pain from the Daegu Seomun Market fire has not even healed, and it is regrettable that such a fire has occurred again." He continued, "Traditional markets are the foundation of livelihood for ordinary citizens. Please explore support measures to ensure that damage recovery can be carried out promptly."

Accordingly, Gyeonggi Province sent General Affairs Division officials to Yeosu on the afternoon of the 15th to deliver 10 million won in condolence funds.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province delivered 10 million won in condolence funds and dispatched a volunteer group of approximately 110 public and private volunteers when the Daegu Seomun Market fire occurred on November 30 of last year.
