The belated action of the freshman police, who jumped into the flames to save citizens trapped in the building on fire, is touching.

According to the police, police officers from Hwagok District of Gangseo Police Station in Seoul arrived at the scene about two minutes after receiving the report at 7:12 a.m. on the 7th.

At that time, fire alarms went off all over the building, but citizens in the building were not aware of the situation because of the sudden alarm in the early hours of weekdays, saying, "Is it really a fire?"

At that moment, Constable Oh Hyun-joon (26) ran into the building on fire.

Constable Oh ran around the Gositel corridor for women on the third and fourth floors and knocked on the door to announce the fire situation. It was a situation that could have been dangerous due to the complex structure of Gositel.

Fortunately, all 22 women in the building were able to evacuate. While Police Officer Oh evacuated the women, other police officers quickly set up police lines to prevent the damage.

Police officer Oh, who became a police officer at the end of December last year, said, "The citizen next to me was very worried, 'What should I do with the people in there?' and "As soon as I heard that, I couldn't think of anything else and went into the building for now."
