Shinsegae Duty Free Donates 'Firefighter Uniform-Only Washing Machine' to Jungbu Fire Station

Shinsegae Duty Free donated a dedicated firefighter turnout gear washing machine to the Jungbu Fire Station in Jung-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Shinsegae Duty Free announced on the 9th that it donated dedicated washing machines for firefighter turnout gear to the Jungbu Fire Station in Jung-gu, Seoul.

Shinsegae Duty Free delivered five dedicated washing machines for turnout gear worth approximately 15 million KRW to the Jungbu Fire Station. Turnout gear is one of the essential items responsible for firefighters' safety, and special care must be taken to maintain its quality and flame-retardant functionality during washing. Additionally, since harmful substances such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide may be absorbed, dedicated washing machines for turnout gear are essential.

This donation was funded through company matching contributions from the Hope Delivery Campaign, a salary-sharing program voluntarily participated in monthly by Shinsegae Duty Free employees, and was supported through Hope Bridge (National Disaster Relief Association).

A Shinsegae Duty Free official said, “We hope that the working environment of firefighters, who risk their lives at accident and disaster sites to fulfill their duties, can be improved even slightly,” and added, “We will continue to strive to ensure that our employees' small acts of sharing are well delivered to places in need.”
