Fire Prevention Measures Presented to Environmental Committee

Relevant services presented fire prevention measures and the state of readiness of the state mechanism to the Parliamentary Environment Committee ahead of the summer. Plans for dealing with fires were analyzed, while challenges such as staff shortages and operational coverage of the countryside were highlighted. It was pointed out that a large number of businesses do not comply with fire safety measures. The Forestry Department reported the strengthening of the fire fleet, the operation of television surveillance systems and the use of drones to detect fires, however the use of drones is limited due to the international situation. The creation of a new specialized forest fire fighting team was also presented, which will be fully trained and certified to deal with forest fires.
