In Kyiv region, the second stage of specialized training for the driving staff of the State Emergency Service took place. These training sessions are conducted by the Ukrainian FireFighters Foundation with the support of Nova Ukraine. The aim of the training is to prepare rescuers for working in off-road conditions for quicker response to emergencies.



Over three days, 10 specialists from 5 regions of Ukraine enhanced their skills in operating the State Emergency Service's all-wheel-drive vehicles with the help of experienced instructors. The program included both theoretical sessions and practical exercises using 4×4 vehicles, as well as working with rigging equipment and training for handling extreme situations.



“Special emphasis was placed on team interaction, as the success of rescue operations often depends on coordination during these tasks”


Participants of the training received certificates and 5 sets of rescue rigging equipment, which will help them act more effectively in challenging conditions during assignments. A big thank you to the Ukrainian FireFighters Foundation and Nova Ukraine for supporting our emergency responders!



During the training, rescuers obtained important skills and tools for responding to extreme situations, enhancing their readiness to assist citizens in challenging conditions.
