Party, Government Mull 2 Trillion Won Fire Service Support

The government and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea agreed on Nov. 8 to review providing around 2 trillion won in fiscal support for essential investments in the fire service sector, aiming to ease local governments' financial burden. Yonhap reports the government has agreed to consider funding about 2 trillion won, while Prime Minister Han Seong-sook said Sunday the government would review support measures for firefighters. DPK spokesperson Park Seong-jun said at a briefing after the 12th high-level party-government meeting that the party requested expanded state support so essential investments directly tied to public safety are not reduced. The move was reported by multiple outlets including Yonhap, Maeil Business Newspaper, and Dong-a Ilbo.
