Everyone’s noses are sore! A fire broke out at a factory in Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea on the 16th. 44-year-old firefighter Kim Jin-seok (김진석, transliteration) unfortunately died in the line of duty while putting out the fire. When Congressman Song Young-gil went to the mourning hall to pay his condolences on the 17th, he took a photo of a memory card written by Kim Jin-seok's 7-year-old daughter, which made netizens cry.

According to the Dong-A Ilbo, Kim Jin-seok was one of the first firefighters to rush to the scene that day. He rushed into the factory to put out the fire but was trapped by the rapid spread of the fire. When he was rescued, he had no heartbeat. Although he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he was pronounced dead. Kim Jin-seok worked hard to put out a house fire in Bucheon in January this year and was awarded the Model Firefighter Award. Unexpectedly, he was now killed.

From the photo taken by Song Yongji, you can see that Kim Jin-seok's 7-year-old daughter wrote, "Dad passed away yesterday, but I still miss you very much. We are now in the mourning hall. I know that dad loves me the most. I must meet again in the future. I will probably have grown up by then. I love you and miss you." A fire truck was also drawn next to the card and the words "dispatched" were written.

After reading the card, many South Korean netizens said they were heartbroken and prayed that the hero who died in the line of duty could rest in peace. It is understood that Kim Jin-seok's daughter will enter elementary school next year, and the family was originally scheduled to move to a new home in two weeks, which makes people feel quite sad. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung also went to Jinzhen Seokling Hall to mourn on the 17th and promised to improve the working conditions of firefighters.
