▲ A letter and a box of fruit delivered by a citizen who received help from an emergency dispatch to the Yeompo 119 Safety Center
The family of a 9-year-old child who suffered a head injury after falling from a tree has delivered a handwritten letter and fruit to express their gratitude to the emergency rescue workers who helped with first aid and hospital transport.
The Ulsan Bukbu Fire Station stated that on the afternoon of October 20, 9-year-old boy A and his family visited the Yeompo 119 Safety Center to deliver a thank-you letter and a box of fruit.
On October 18, child A climbed a tree at an apartment playground in Dong-gu, Ulsan, and fell, resulting in a laceration to the head. After receiving first aid from dispatched emergency workers, he underwent surgery at a nearby university hospital.
In the letter, child A's mother introduced herself as the "mother of a 9-year-old boy monkey" and expressed her gratitude, saying, "While I was out of my mind fearing something might go wrong with my child, you continuously calmed me down."
She added, "Thanks to your prompt dispatch, my child successfully finished surgery with no complications to the head and is now running around and playing energetically again," and "I hope you will not forget that there are many people always supporting you."
An official from the center said, "We were deeply moved when you shared such a warm heart for what was simply our duty," adding, "We will continue to do our utmost to protect the lives and safety of citizens."
