Summary: Two firemen died Saturday while operating to battle a blaze in a warehouse in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. They are 40-year-old Lee Jae-man and 32-year-old Han Sang-Yun from Songtan Fire Station.
When Lee and Han arrived at the scene with other three firemen, the fire was blazing at the furniture warehouse. They immediately began firefighting and rescue operations. However, they were told to pull out because of the intense toxic gas and heat. So the other firemen safely escaped but these two men could not escape because the roof and structur collapsed on them according to witnesses.
Upon the news of their death, many people mourned and came to the funeral hall to show their respects. Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik and other high officials visited also. The Internet and SNS such as Twitter were filled with messages from people expressing their condolences.
The funeral servies will end today at the fire station.
Actually, these two men were good firemen and they have children and wife.
Opinion: This is a sad news for people. I really respect these two firemen because they strived their best to be responsible until the moment of death. Now though they died, a lot of people have mourned and come to their funeral service to show respects. In fact, they died with honor.
What I learned from this incident is that a person who dies while doing his duty or responsibility would be honorable and actually honored by a lot of people. I really want to show my respect and mourn to these men.
I think the government should give some recompenses or gifts to the family of the deceased to comfort them. Actually, nothing can comfort the family now because their husbands and at the same time fathers died. However, I hope they would be comforted by people and show their braveness as their fathers and husbands showed.
