DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT UNDER THE FIRESAFE JEZERO PROJECT
As part of the FireSafe Jezero: Comprehensive Landscape Fire Prevention and Education Initiative, implemented in cooperation between the Institute for Protection and Ecology of the Republic of Srpska and the Municipality of Jezero, a delivery of equipment intended for education and practical fire protection training has been completed.
The delivered equipment includes:
- Fire extinguishers 6 kg (15 pcs)

- A hydrant network testing set and accompanying tools
This equipment will be used for educational purposes during planned training sessions, workshops, and demonstrations for employees of public institutions, members of protection and rescue services, as well as for children from rural areas.
The goal of these activities is to raise awareness of fire risks, ensure proper response in emergencies, and improve overall preparedness for protecting the environment and human life.
The FireSafe Jezero project aims to strengthen fire prevention capacities and increase readiness within the local community through:
- Implementation of comprehensive training programs for municipal staff and public institutions,
- Development of key documents such as fire safety analyses, rulebooks, and evacuation plans,
- Education of children and youth on the impact of climate change on fire risk and biodiversity protection,
- Installation of informative signs and QR codes at high-risk locations,
- Organization of promotional campaigns and workshops on responsible behavior in nature.
The project is implemented under the Landscape Fire Management in the Western Balkans (LFMWB) programme, financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), with the aim of enhancing the resilience of local communities to forest and landscape fires through education, cooperation, and the application of innovative approaches to protecting nature and people.
