Hyundai Oilbank said it will offer money from a fund raised by its employees to the families of two firefighters and a police officer who were killed on duty last weekend.

Lee Jae-man and Han Sang-yoon of the Songtan firefighting squad in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, were killed in a fire at a furniture exhibition hall on Saturday. Bae Geun-sung, assistant inspector at the police station in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, died Sunday while trying to save a person who was electrocuted after his car hit a utility pole.

Hyundai Oilbank said it will deliver 10 million won to each family from a fund made up of 1 percent of the company employees’ salaries.
