International Firefighter's Day, observed annually on May 4, honors firefighters worldwide for their dedication and pays tribute to colleagues who have died in the line of duty.
The Center for Fire Statistics of CTIF used this occasion to hold a regular meeting. Topics included the progress on the new World Fire Statistics Report, a visit to Interschutz in Hanover, Germany, and organizational
matters.
A key discussion point was how quickly fire brigades worldwide are preparing for the upcoming forest fire season (see symbolic picture). The meeting emphasized the importance of personnel availability, especially volunteer firefighters, as well as technical reserves and water transport.
The use of drones, satellite technology, and artificial intelligence was also examined.-
