Jeonnam Fire Department Reflects 'Preferred Work Locations' for Firefighters with Multiple Children

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) has prepared preferential personnel measures for firefighters with multiple children ahead of the regular personnel appointments in the second half of this year.

Jeonnam Fire announced on the 17th that the preferred work locations of firefighters with multiple children will be reflected in this personnel appointment.

This initiative was promoted to take the lead in solving Jeonnam Province's low birthrate problem and to boost the morale and improve the working environment of firefighters with multiple children.

The detailed criteria for the preferential personnel measures apply to firefighters with three or more children who receive family allowances.

The plan includes prioritizing the assignment of preferred work locations and exempting them from on-duty shifts, starting from the regular personnel appointments in the second half of 2020.

Furthermore, additional preferential measures in personnel and welfare areas, such as industrial inspections for firefighters and selection of exemplary public officials, are planned to be prepared in the future.

Ma Jaeyoon, Chief of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, said, “This preferential personnel measure for firefighters with multiple children focuses on resolving work location issues that have been obstacles to childbirth and childcare, allowing them to concentrate on childcare with peace of mind. We will continue to create a working environment to overcome the low birthrate crisis.”
