Firefighters in Nantou County have accumulated more than 100,000 hours of uncompensated time off, and legislators demand the establishment of overtime pay.

They were also forced to support paid commercial activities such as the Sun Moon Lake Swimming Crossing, which attracted thousands of people and caused controversy. Councilors Wu Qinan, Shen Suzheng and Chen Yijun requested that the Fire Department solve the problem through overtime pay and other methods. It is estimated that 60 million yuan in funding will be allocated for two consecutive years. The fire chief stated that he would seek a budget from the county government, and county head Xu Shuhua said that next year he would discuss the establishment of compensatory time off and overtime pay year by year and strive to make up for the manpower shortage from the central government.
