Songjeong Beach 119 water rescuers ride jet skis on the sea.
One has a throwing net in his hand.
Pork to be used as bait was also put in the net.
They didn't do rescue or patrol, but went fishing during business hours.
After a while, this time anchor the jetski to the buoy and start fishing.
One sits with his back to the surfers and goes fishing.
[I am fishing. (Really?) Yes. (I should report this.)] The
beaches were closed early due to Corona 19, but bathing is not prohibited.
At that time, about 200 or 300 people, including surfers and swimmers, gathered at Songjeong Beach.
However, the firefighters who should be responsible for safety here did something else.
[Witness: People pass by and civil servants pass by, but they don't care (fishing). It's ridiculous and stupid... .]
Even one of these two was the head of the water rescue team, the head of the rescue team.
The Busan Fire Department recognized the deviation by receiving complaints and is currently conducting an audit.
The rescue chief was immediately dismissed from his post.
The fire department plans to raise the qualifications for water rescue officers and strengthen management supervision by conducting weekly service inspections at the fire department in charge.
