Our first fire truck, which we handed over to volunteer rescuers!

Thanks to the help of KLO and Ukrainehilfe Salchendorf, the volunteer fire brigade of the Novooleksandrivska community in Zaporizhzhia region now has this fire truck, which will help to extinguish the fire quickly and save the lives and property of residents of the surrounding villages.

Volunteers are not professional firefighters or rescuers, but ordinary local residents who have undergone appropriate training and, if necessary, put on combat equipment and go to fight fires or rescue people. They are the community's fire protection and the first to come to the rescue in case of a disaster.
It is especially valuable for us to help those communities that, despite their close proximity to the frontline, frequent shelling and destruction, continue to live in their towns and villages, develop, improve their lives in extremely difficult conditions and take care of each other.
