The Daejeon Fire Headquarters plans to award the long service medals individually throughout the year to coincide with the point at which each recipient reaches 30 years of service, focusing not on formal ceremonies but on reflecting on the meaning and value of long service.

Kim Moon-yong, head of the Daejeon Fire Headquarters, said, "I extend my deepest respect and gratitude to all the fire officials who have guarded the field with a sense of duty over the long span of 30 years," adding, "I hope that the dedication of senior officials will become a source of pride for their juniors and a solid foundation for citizens' trust in Daejeon Fire Services."
