S-Oil will deliver 30 million won ($27,663) in compensation to the family members of a firefighter chief who died on the job, officials said Thursday.
Yoon Young-soo, 33, died Wednesday while extinguishing a fire in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. He is survived by his mother, wife and an infant son.
“We wish to pay respect to the deceased who died trying to protect the citizens’ life and assets,” said an official of S-Oil.
The oil refinery company, in hand with the National Emergency Management Agency, has been offering compensation to deceased firefighters and scholarships to their children since 2006.
