Boseong Fire Station Donates 12 Million Won Collected from Many to Hometown Love Fund

Boseong Fire Station participated in the Hometown Love Donation Program.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 18th, employees of Boseong Fire Station (Chief Jeong Yong-in) collectively donated 12 million won to Boseong County as hometown love donation funds.

The Hometown Love Donation Program was established to promote a healthy donation culture, expand local finances, and revitalize the regional economy through a return gift project, aiming to achieve balanced national development.

Individuals can donate up to 5 million won annually to local governments other than their current residence, and donors receive tax credits (full credit up to 100,000 won, and 16.5% for amounts exceeding 100,000 won) along with return gifts consisting of local specialties.

Hometown love donation funds are used for projects that improve local welfare, support socially vulnerable groups, and foster and protect youth.

Chief Jeong Yong-in also donated 1 million won, earning a place in the "Donor Hall of Fame."

Chief Jeong said, “I hope the Hometown Love Donation Program will help revitalize Boseong County’s local economy and promote a healthy donation culture.”

Boseong Fire Station installs fire safety kits (fire extinguishers, standalone smoke detectors), one of the return gifts from the Hometown Love Donation Program, in homes of vulnerable groups and provides safety inspections and fire safety education services.

Meanwhile, on the 14th, more than 50 fire commanders, including the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters Chief, fire chiefs from 22 cities and counties, and the 119 Special Response Team Chief, pledged to participate in the Hometown Love Donation Program.
