During the oath-taking, the new firefighters pledged, "We will devote our passion to protect the safety of the residents, repaying their expectations and trust."

They passed the firefighter recruitment exam last year and completed 19 weeks of training at the fire academy, acquiring basic knowledge necessary for firefighting duties and practical field training in fire suppression, rescue, and emergency medical services before being deployed to the field.

Chief Joo Nak-dong said, "I hope the 74 firefighters who received their appointment certificates will serve as safety guardians responsible for the safety of the residents, carrying honor and responsibility, and always be ready to respond to the call of the residents with their best efforts."

Meanwhile, the Jeonbuk Provincial Fire Headquarters conducted special training to establish public service discipline for the new firefighters to eradicate illegal acts such as drunk driving.
