An employee of a company who signed a consignment contract with a local government and was doing snow removal work set fire to a snow removal vehicle.
The employee has been performing snow removal work since dawn for four consecutive days, and with the snow removal system almost falling, the county office is known to have set fire to fire by requesting another dispatch.
According to others such as Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, today (9th) around 12:22 p.m., A, an employee of a consignment company for snow removal work in Muan-eup, Muan-gun, lit his vehicle.
Colleagues who witnessed the fire immediately extinguished it with fire extinguishers, and 119 firefighters dispatched themselves to smoke only part of the vehicle and extinguished it around 12:35.
Muan-gun signed a contract to lease eight snow removal vehicles to Mr. A’s company for three months this winter.
Mr. A and his colleagues were mobilized for snow removal every day as it fell a lot of snow in the southern region for four consecutive days this week following last week.
Mr. A and others started snow removal on the road from 4 am and came to the company for breakfast at around 9:30 am, and an official from the county office stopped by the company to check the current status of the snow removal system and requested a snow removal operation on the back road where many complaints are coming.
Mr. A and his colleagues refused to mobilize because there was not much snow removal agent left and that they had had a great deal of difficulty in the process of entering and turning the road with a 15t vehicle before.
As the voice rose, other county officials intervened to divide the snow removal agent into each vehicle and attach a blade to the vehicle to remove the snow, but Mr. A removed the snow removal equipment from his vehicle and set a fire inside the vehicle.
An official in Muan County said, “We will discuss well with the company so that there will be no disruption in the snow removal work. I apologize to the residents.”
