The government and ruling party have agreed to consider providing about 2 trillion won ($1.5 billion) in fiscal support for essential firefighting investments, a ruling party official said Sunday. Prime Minister Han Seong-sook also vowed to review support measures for firefighters, with discussions including easing the financial burden on local governments, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The move is part of broader talks on next year's budget, which the opposition Democratic Party has criticized as spreading benefits unevenly, KBS World reports.
