📋 Tender Overview
Today, the 31st generation completed training for the title of professional firefighter at the Ig Protection and Rescue Training Center. There were 43 candidates from all over Slovenia, and all of them successfully completed their training.
Minister of Defense Marjan Sarec addressed the firefighters. Firefighting is not a profession, but a mission. A firefighter, both professional and volunteer, goes to help in the heat, during fires, floods and natural disasters, in order to help immediately, said Defense Minister Marjan Sarec in his address to the 31st generation of professional firefighters. He emphasized the changing types of disasters, and at the same time reminded of the fire in 2022 in the Karst, last years violent floods and the constant accidents that we have witnessed recently.
Firefighters need modern equipment, the knowledge to work with it, and constant training, but without the connection of firefighters and their heart, they would not be as successful as they are, he emphasized. Congratulating the new generation of professional firefighters, Minister Marjan Sarec wished them the most successful work. As he said, during the six-month training, they also learned their own limits and showed that they are ready to help each other and others.
