Cooperation between PL and LT in Promoting volunteer fire and rescue services

The project objective is to increase level of security through the cross-border cooperation in the fight against the common threats and emergency situations, as well as to improve the accessibility of the high quality public services in the area of Poland-Lithuania borderland through development of infrastructure (including purchase of equipped fire trucks ), necessary for the provision of public services. Soft activities include series of demonstrations and trainings; during these events skills and abilities how to deal with emergency situations will be upgraded. Partners also foresee the exchange of experience and good practices. The project will benefit from knowledge, skills and long lasting experience of Polish partners, which will significantly contribute to the development of the emerging rescue system, based on the firefighter’s volunteers, in Lithuania. The project’s added value – establishment of permanent cooperation between institutions, responsible for maintaining security of both countries, for better coordination of management of shared resources, infrastructure and equipment.
