S-OIL Supports Injured Firefighters for 12 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] S-OIL held a 'Compensated Firefighter Medical Expense Delivery Ceremony' at Mapo Fire Station on the 15th in collaboration with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, delivering 60 million KRW in medical expenses to injured firefighters.

The medical expenses provided by S-OIL on this day will be used for the treatment of 31 firefighters nationwide who were injured during fire suppression and rescue/first aid activities. Since 2009, as part of the 'Firefighter Hero Keeper' program, S-OIL has supported a total of 336 injured firefighters with 660 million KRW.

Sun Jin-young, Head of the Management Support Division, stated, "We want to offer even a small help to firefighters who were injured while protecting citizens' safety at dangerous accident sites," adding, "S-OIL will continue the Firefighter Hero Keeper program to boost the morale of firefighters, the protectors of our society, and to contribute to the stability of firefighters' families' lives."

Since 2006, S-OIL has been operating the 'Firefighter Hero Keeper' program with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare to support firefighters who silently sacrifice themselves in various parts of society. In the event of a firefighter's death in the line of duty, 30 million KRW is provided to the bereaved family, and scholarships are awarded annually to about 70 firefighter children to help them focus on their studies steadily. Additionally, various programs such as the 'Hero Firefighter Awards Ceremony' to encourage outstanding firefighters and the 'Firefighter Couple Rest Camp' offering rest and recharging opportunities to firefighters and their families exhausted from heavy workloads are leading efforts to boost morale.
