[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan Fire Station (Chief Park Won-guk) expressed gratitude to the residents for the transition of firefighters to national public officials starting from the 1st.

It is the first time in 47 years since the Local Fire Service Act was enacted on February 8, 1973, which had divided the service into national and local positions.

This transition to national status is meaningful not simply because the word "local" is removed, but because it enables the provision of fire services without regional disparities.

In the event of a disaster, the nearest dispatch team, regardless of city or province boundaries, can respond quickly, and the treatment that varied by region has also been improved.

Chief Park Won-guk stated, "We have transitioned to national status thanks to the support and interest of the people," and added, "We will strive to show a more developed and improved fire service that meets expectations."
