On 31st<\/sup> August, a promotional picnic was held in Klukowo (Podlaskie, PL) as part of the PL-UA project \u2018Joint actions to improve cooperation in preventing natural disasters and climate threats in the cross-border area of Poland and Ukraine\u2019 (acronym FirePrev<\/em>). The event attracted residents from nearby towns and villages, providing an opportunity for the local community to integrate, learn about safety and emergency response, and, above all, to present a new fire truck purchased thanks to funding from the PL-UA Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many attractions awaited participants during the picnic. Members of the Pi\u0119tki-Gr\u0119zki Volunteer Firefighters Unit (VFU\/OSP) gave a demonstration of professional first aid techniques. It attracted a lot of interest from both children and adults, and at the same time provided an excellent lesson in basic yet extremely important rescue skills. At the promotional stand, participants had the opportunity to learn about the project and talk to those involved in its implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the presentation of the new fire truck aroused the most excitement. Firefighters proudly showed off their new acquisition, which will significantly improve safety not only in the village itself, but also in the wider area. Anyone who wanted could enter the cab, see the specialist equipment up close, and the youngest visitors took souvenir photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0I am delighted that we can celebrate such a special moment together today \u2013 the presentation of our new rescue and firefighting vehicle. This is a huge event for us, one we have been waiting for many years. Until now, we have been using our trusty STAR from 1980 \u2013 a wonderful vehicle that has served us well for a long time. It has been involved in many operations, but let’s be honest \u2013 it has done its job and it was time to give it a well-deserved retirement. Now we have equipment fit for the 21st century. Our new vehicle is the pride of our unit \u2013 modern, fast, well-equipped and, above all, safe for our colleagues, who often risk their health and lives to help others \u2013 said Kamil Uchan, Chairman of the Pi\u0119tki-Gr\u0119zki VFU\/OSP.<\/p>\n
