On the 16th, a meaningful event was held at Seoul Jamsil Stadium, where the Doosan Bears faced the KT Wiz.

The third annual "Doosan Bears Fire Service Family Day" event took place. The Doosan organization invited 1,119 people, including active-duty firefighters and their families, as well as families of firefighters who lost their lives while protecting disaster sites, to express gratitude for their dedication and sacrifice for public safety.

This event was organized at the proposal of Park Jeong-won, the team owner (Chairman of Doosan Group), who has shown special concern for the hard work of firefighters.

The "sincerity" of Team Owner Park toward fire service families has now continued for 10 years. Doosan Group launched the "Fire Service Family Mental Care" program in 2017 for families of firefighters who died or were injured in the line of duty, providing psychological counseling and treatment, as well as child-rearing support for preschool-aged children in target families until they graduate from elementary school. Additionally, the company has produced "Disaster Relief Worker Recovery Buses" that provide rest spaces for firefighters and relief workers at disaster and accident sites, donating them to the Korean Red Cross, among other efforts to support firefighters without hesitation.

At the event, a three-generation family dedicated to the fire service appeared on the field, moving the audience. Kim So-soo (83), who retired after 35 years of tireless field activities in incidents such as the 1971 Daeheung-ro Fire and the 2001 Hongje-dong Fire, threw the ceremonial first pitch. His two sons, Fire Lieutenant Kim Sung-eun (Seoul Gangbuk Fire Station Field Response Team), batted, and Fire Lieutenant Kim Sung-min (Gyeonggi Siheung Fire Station), pitched.

After the end of the second inning, Team Owner Park Jeong-won visited the first-base stands (Red Seats) where fire service families were gathered and presented Kim So-soo with a Bears goods box containing a framed jersey with the number 119, a cap, a logo ball, and other items. Fire Lieutenant Kim Sung-min presented a bag made from recycled fire-resistant suits as a token of gratitude for the invitation.

Before the game, a fire service band composed of active-duty firefighters played the national anthem, followed by a moment of silence to honor fallen firefighters and patriotic spirits. At the Central Ticket Office Plaza, a mobile fire safety experience vehicle was installed to create a space where baseball visitors could directly experience the fire service scene, among other various events.

A Doosan organization official stated, "We feel even more meaningful that we can convey our gratitude to firefighters who dedicate themselves on the front lines of disaster sites in June, the month of patriotic remembrance, together with baseball fans," and added, "Going forward, we will prepare various programs to spread positive influence throughout society together with our parent company, Doosan Group."
