HiteJinro brings snack trucks to support firefighters

HiteJinro is bringing its snack trucks to fire stations throughout South Korea to support firefighters during fire and disaster response operations. The company kicked off its second half of the program by visiting the Gwangjin District fire station in Seoul on September 2. HiteJinro intends to stop by four additional fire stations located in Daegu, North Gyeongsang Province, Busan, and South Gyeongsang Province before the end of next month.

The annual program involves providing meals, snacks, and beverages to firefighters working under extreme heat conditions and at disaster sites. According to a HiteJinro official, the company aimed to offer some morale-boosting support to firefighters during their demanding work. The company remains committed to continuing its efforts in providing assistance to firefighters to safeguard public safety.

Since 2020, HiteJinro has been running this annual program after signing a memorandum of understanding with the National Fire Agency (NFA) in 2018. This year, the company plans to visit a total of 17 fire stations across the country.
