'영웅' 소방관을 국가직으로… 청원 이틀만에 10만 돌파

The South Korean public is praising the firefighters who worked day and night to contain last week's wildfires.
And this has called more attention to firefighters' working conditions.
So an online petition was posted last Friday on the presidential office's website,... calling for conditions to improved for them.
And this petition has already received over one-hundred-thousand online signatures.
Currently,.... firefighters work for their respective municipal governments, meaning,.... their working conditions and benefits are not as good as they would be... if they worked under the central government.
