In the period from 05.12.2023 to 06.12.2023, Joint Training for early detection and handling of fires was successfully held in Thessaloniki within the framework of the project “Early Fire Detection and Ranging for disaster prevention and management – eFIDAR”, financed by The European Union through the Interreg IPA Program for cross-border cooperation between Greece and R. North Macedonia.
The training aimed to train firefighters from our regional units, representatives from the Crisis Management Center and the Directorate of Protection and Rescue, as well as other operational teams on the use of new technologies in the early detection and management of fires with the help of drone management. During the training, the participants got the opportunity to train their skills and get acquainted with the latest technological achievements in the field of disaster prevention and management. Drones were also used practically to detect fires and create control missions, which increased the efficiency of operational teams.
Topics covered in the training included:
Using drones for early fire detection
Creating drone management missions
Procedures for effective fire and disaster management
Establishing cross-border partnerships and cooperation
Participants gained significant knowledge and skills that will improve their capacities to predict, deal with and minimize the consequences of fires. This training is not just a one-time activity, but part of a long-term strategy for building capacities and improving cooperation between countries in the region in order to support the advancement of protection and rescue in the cross-border area.
The activity is co-financed by the European Union and the national funds of the participating countries.
