The Chungnam Fire Headquarters has been selected as the best organization for four consecutive years in the National Happiness Fire Policy Evaluation.

The Chungnam Fire Headquarters announced on the 3rd that it has been selected as the top institution in the National Happiness Fire Policy Comprehensive Evaluation for 2024 by the National Fire Agency and will receive a commendation from the Minister of the Interior and Safety.

The Comprehensive Evaluation of Fire Policy is one of the government’s performance assessments, conducted annually by the National Fire Agency since 2010, evaluating 19 metropolitan and provincial fire headquarters nationwide across 43 indicators in seven areas, including prevention safety, on-site response, and fire administration. Chungnam Fire Headquarters has been selected as the top institution for four consecutive years since 2021.

Chungnam Fire Headquarters demonstrated outstanding capabilities in various fields, including overall on-site response such as fire response, prevention, rescue, and emergency medical services. It also ranked first nationwide in the investigation case presentation competition aimed at eradicating violations of fire safety laws.

In this year’s evaluation, the headquarters was recognized for its excellent achievements in establishing communication systems for the socially vulnerable, such as a suicide prevention platform, a search system for elderly people with dementia, a special 119 transport service for severely disabled seniors, as well as AI interpretation, sign language interpretation, and pictorial medical interviews, in response to a super-aged and multicultural society.

Chief Seong Hoseon of the Fire Headquarters stated, “This achievement is the result of all Chungnam Fire employees coming together to protect the safety of our residents,” and added, “We will continue to do our utmost to fulfill our responsibilities and roles as a strong support for the residents.”
