"Purchase of a medium rescue and firefighting car for the Voluntary Fire Service from the area of the Wadowice Górne Commune"

The main objective of the project is to increase the level of safety and fire protection of final beneficiaries in the Municipality of Wadowice Górne by purchasing a medium rescue and firefighting car for the Volunteer Fire Brigade unit in Wadowice Górne. The main objective of the project will contribute to the achievement of specific objectives, the most important of which are: • a significant improvement in the technical condition of the equipment at the disposal of the TSO unit in Wadowice Górne through the purchase of a new medium-sized rescue and firefighting car, • a guarantee and significantly better availability of spare parts for a medium-sized firefighting car, • a significant increase in the level of safety of firefighters forced to carry out rescue operations, • a strongly limited risk of loss of health and life of residents of the Wadowice Górne Commune, as well as a significant reduction in the scale of damage to high-value property and areas of special natural value and protected areas, the implementation of the project will bring many long-term benefits, and the following specific objectives will be achieved thanks to the measures taken: • improving the equipment of TSOs, • rejuvenating the rolling stock of TSO combat vehicles, • professionalising TSOs, • improving the safety of residents, • increasing the quality and speed of rescue operations and removing the consequences of disasters or major accidents, • improving the working conditions of firefighters, • increasing the safety of TSO teams during rescue operations, • the prestige of the TSO among the public and an increased number of its members. The subject of the project is the purchase of 1 fire truck for the Voluntary Fire Brigade unit in Wadowice Górne, which is registered in the CRSG. The main objective of the project is to effectively prevent and reduce the impact of potential risks (e.g. fires, natural disasters, etc.). The purchased vehicle will be equipped with the latest, currently available rescue and firefighting equipment. The car will have to replace the already worn out equipment in the possession of the unit, which will be withdrawn from use. The implementation of the project will contribute to increasing safety in the rapidly developing commune of Wadowice Górne, will protect natural values such as: area – Przecławski and Jastrzębsko-Żdżarski and will enable quick access to the victims of accidents, including on the provincial road: No 984. Promptly reaching the scene of the incident from the moment of notification to the TSO is a key element of the success of the rescue operation. Therefore, in order to guarantee public safety, it is necessary to have properly functioning combat vehicles that will not fail at the most important moment. Thanks to the implementation of the project, the costs of repairs and fuel consumption of means of transport equipped by the TSO in Wadowice Górne will be reduced and the safety and effectiveness of firefighters during rescue operations will be increased. The main purpose of this project is to do so. Taking into account the above main groups of problems diagnosed by the Applicant, which influenced the decision to implement the project are: • poor technical condition of the equipment at the disposal of the TSO unit in Wadowice Górne, • increasingly poor availability of spare parts for a medium car, • lack of water stations for water abstraction for firefighting purposes, • low level of safety of firefighters forced to carry out rescue operations using outdated equipment, • climate change, which increases the likelihood of fire hazards and other natural disasters, • high risk of destruction of particularly valuable natural areas and protected areas, • lack of own funds to equip the TSO in Wadowice Górne to the level of needs resulting from challenges and the area of operation.
