In the context of the improvement of the fire-fighting facilities in the South-East planning region, the fourth fire-fighting vehicle was handed over to the municipality of Radovish, which has been specially modified and equipped to effectively deal with forest fires within the project “Early Fire Detection and Ranging for disaster prevention and management – eFIDAR”, financed by the EU through the cross-border cooperation program with Greece.
Thanks to Interreg IPA, the Program for cross-border cooperation between the Republic of Macedonia and Greece provided additional funds for the region, which resulted in the purchase of a new firefighting vehicle for the Firefighting Unit in the Municipality of Radovish.
The new vehicle is conceptualized as a pickup vehicle for access to certain locations with fires that cannot be reached with larger vehicles, the same model that is already used by the unit of Father Valandovo. These vehicles are specially designed for quick and efficient interventions in the field, with a special focus on forest fires that have recently caused great economic losses in the region.
The delivery of the new vehicle is part of the strategic initiative to improve the capacities of the territorial firefighting units. This significant establishment of resources will allow the firefighting units in Gevgelija, Strumica, Valandovo, and now also in Radovish, to be fully equipped and prepared for the challenges of dealing with fires.
With the introduction of the new vehicles, the citizens of Radovish and the surrounding municipalities can feel more secure and protected, and the region becomes ready for quick and efficient response in case of fires.
