[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] HiteJinro announced on the 7th that it has provided financial support to the families of firefighters who have dedicated themselves to the nation, offering comfort and helping their children grow into outstanding members of society.

Since 2018, HiteJinro has been offering consolation money and scholarships to comfort the families of deceased firefighters and support the social independence of their children. Since 2020, the company has also been supporting legal costs, including attorney fees, to help firefighters who died by suicide due to work-related stress or illness be recognized as having died in the line of duty. This year, the company expanded its support to a total of 33 households, including living expenses, education costs, legal fees, and healing camps.

Kim In-gyu, CEO of HiteJinro, said, "We hope to repay, even if only a little, the noble sacrifice of firefighters who died in the line of duty for the safety and lives of the people, and to help the social independence of their children. As a century-old company, we will continue to consider various ways to improve the welfare of firefighters and their families and maintain ongoing support."
