Project Description:

FLAME project is a cross-border initiative focused on reducing fire risk and enhanced disaster management in Hungary-Serbia. The primary implementing organisations are the fire departments and emergency services from both sides of the border, local municipalities and community groups.
In response to the increasing threats of fires due to climate change, our project aims to bolster resilience to fire risks through cross-border cooperation and coordinated efforts. This involves enhancing fire departments' operational capacities, improving fire risk assessment tools, and educating the public on fire prevention and safety measures.
Our project places considerable emphasis on education as a preventive measure. This includes public fire prevention events, demonstrations, and presentations on fire safety techniques. We also aim to hold a summer fire prevention camp for children, combining education with fun activities to promote fire safety understanding.

(Expected) Results:

Joint development of a local fire incidents database
Joint training sessions for Hungarian and Serbian fire brigades
Public fire prevention events
Summer fire prevention camp for children
Creation and distribution of a fire prevention handbook
Creation of promotional materials and a promo film about the project
Closing event presenting the project's results and achievements
