The Association of Local Governments of Euroregion &#8220;Bug&#8221; initiated this undertaking and leads the <em>FireFighters<\/em> project in partnership with the Association of Volunteer Fire Departments of Ukraine from the Volyn Oblast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OSP units received modern equipment \u2013 sludge pumps, floating pumps, and power generators. It is worth emphasising that this is the first of three planned equipment deliveries under the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"widget-quote\">\n  <blockquote class=\"widget-quote__blockquote\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\n    <p>We are convinced that this equipment is essential to effectively respond to all threats related to climate change and to react in the face of natural disasters. Upcoming tenders will involve the purchase of items such as flat-bottomed boats, equipment necessary for water rescue, backpacks for extinguishing grass and forest fires, and chainsaws, \u2013 explained Galina Grabarczuk, Director of the Secretariat of the Euroregion \u201cBug\u201d Association.<\/p>\n    <footer class=\"widget-quote__blockquote__footer\">\n          <p><\/p>\n    <\/footer>\n  <\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"widget-quote\">\n  <blockquote class=\"widget-quote__blockquote\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\n    <p>This is quite a specific area. The so-called tripoint. This support is vital to us, as we wouldn&#8217;t be able to raise the necessary funds to acquire such equipment on our own. It will certainly be helpful during operations organised around water and the damage that the Bug River can cause. Our unit received a sludge pump, thanks to which we will be able to drain basements effectively, for example. Farm buildings are sometimes located in terrain that is difficult to access and exposed to various types of threats, \u2013 emphasised Artur Zalewski from OSP Stawki in an interview with us.<\/p>\n    <footer class=\"widget-quote__blockquote__footer\">\n          <p><\/p>\n    <\/footer>\n  <\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The main goal of the <em>FireFighters<\/em> project is to prevent crises within the Lubelskie Voivodeship and the Rivne Oblast. The partners will jointly develop standards for monitoring, warning, and responding to natural disasters. Under the project, training sessions and study visits regarding crisis management and first aid will be conducted. Each partner will purchase necessary equipment, including boats, water rescue kits, specialised clothing, or the aforementioned motor pumps and generators. On the Polish side, 38 OSP units will be equipped, and on the Ukrainian side, 16. An educational campaign will be conducted in parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about the <em>FireFighters<\/em> project can be found at the <a href=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/en\/projekty-i-historie\/firefighters\/\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"\">\n\n  <div class=\"widget-image-gallery galRB gal-2230\">\n\n    <div id=\"swiperGalFUll-2230\"\n      class=\"swiper widget-image-gallery__full swiper-initialized swiper-horizontal swiper-pointer-events swiper-backface-hidden\">\n\n      <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\" id=\"swiper-wrapper-2230\" aria-live=\"polite\"\n        style=\"transform: translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px);\">\n\n        \n\n        \n        <div class=\"swiper-slide excludeimg  swiper-slide-active \"\n            tabindex=\"0\"\n        data-sliderId =\"2230\"\n        data-bs-slide-to=\"0\"\n        data-title=\"\" role=\"group\"\n          data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#exampleModal2230\"\n          aria-label=\"1 \/ 4\"\n          style=\"background: linear-gradient(rgba(211, 211, 211), rgba(211, 211, 211))\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FireFighters-sprzet-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"gal_bg_img\" style=\"\n    width: 100% !important;\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FireFighters-sprzet-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"gal_main_img\" style=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n                \n\n        \n        <div class=\"swiper-slide excludeimg \"\n            tabindex=\"0\"\n        data-sliderId =\"2230\"\n        data-bs-slide-to=\"1\"\n        data-title=\"\" role=\"group\"\n          data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#exampleModal2230\"\n          aria-label=\"2 \/ 4\"\n          style=\"background: linear-gradient(rgba(211, 211, 211), rgba(211, 211, 211))\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FireFighters-zdjecia-2.jpg\" class=\"gal_bg_img\" style=\"\n    width: 100% !important;\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FireFighters-zdjecia-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"gal_main_img\" style=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n                \n\n        \n        <div class=\"swiper-slide excludeimg \"\n            tabindex=\"0\"\n        data-sliderId =\"2230\"\n        data-bs-slide-to=\"2\"\n        data-title=\"\" role=\"group\"\n          data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#exampleModal2230\"\n          aria-label=\"3 \/ 4\"\n          style=\"background: linear-gradient(rgba(211, 211, 211), rgba(211, 211, 211))\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Firefighters-5-zdjecia.jpg\" class=\"gal_bg_img\" style=\"\n    width: 100% !important;\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Firefighters-5-zdjecia.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"gal_main_img\" style=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n                \n\n        \n        <div class=\"swiper-slide excludeimg \"\n            tabindex=\"0\"\n        data-sliderId =\"2230\"\n        data-bs-slide-to=\"3\"\n        data-title=\"\" role=\"group\"\n          data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#exampleModal2230\"\n          aria-label=\"4 \/ 4\"\n          style=\"background: linear-gradient(rgba(211, 211, 211), rgba(211, 211, 211))\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FireFighters-zdjecia-sprzet-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"gal_bg_img\" style=\"\n    width: 100% !important;\">\n\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pl-ua.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FireFighters-zdjecia-sprzet-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"gal_main_img\" style=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n                \n\n\n      <\/div>\n\n\n      <span class=\"swiper-notification\" aria-live=\"assertive\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/span>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"swiperGalThumb-2230\" data-galid=\"2230\"\n      class=\"swiper widget-image-gallery__thumbs swiper-initialized swiper-horizontal swiper-pointer-events swiper-free-mode swiper-backface-hidden swiper-thumbs\">\n      <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\" id=\"swiper-wrapper-2230\" aria-live=\"polite\"\n        style=\"transform: translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px);\">\n\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"swiper-slide swiper-slide-prev\" style=\"width: 139px;
