President Moon Visits with First Responders at Goseong Fire

It shows how big this fire on South Korea’s East Coast is that President Moon felt like he had to go out there in get in front of the cameras:

 President Moon Jae-in on Friday made a surprise visit to the eastern city of Goseong, where more than 10,000 firefighters and military personnel have gathered to put out a massive fire that started the day before.
The president first visited the site command center in Goseong, 160 kilometers east of Seoul, where he urged continued efforts to completely put out the fire that is believed to have destroyed more than 300 buildings so far.

“We may have failed to prevent the fire from spreading in the early stage because of strong winds, but I still believe we were able to stop the fire from spreading further because of the joint efforts of our firefighters, military and police officers and also civilians,” the president said after being briefed on current conditions, according to pool reports.

Later, the president visited a makeshift shelter set up at a school to offer his personal condolences to those evacuated and dislocated.
“The most important thing is not to get hurt. The life is what is most important,” Moon said while meeting with a group of residents who evacuated their homes in Goseong.

Commie Moon’s face tells it all. He’d rather be hanging with Fatty III in Pyongyang.

A cynical person might be tempted to say something about his job being secure because no middle-school children were killed.

Fortunately, I have no doubts about President Moon’s sincerity and his determination to promote the betterment of all mankind.

You can tell they’re serious about this because they all went and bought the same jacket.

As a former firefighter I know exactly what a surprise visit means. Either an election year or commie Moon needs to look “presidential” by visiting the command center & evacuees. Either way he’s in the way of real men & women doing real work. GTFO
