The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) contacted CTIF a few months ago, looking for experts to analyse the current state-of-the-art as regards fire and rescue services in Kosovo. 4 CTIF experts from different countries were sent on the spot in December 2007: Tommy Forsberg (Swedish Fire and Rescue Academy), Peter Hofman-Bang (Danish Emergency Management Agency), Harald Herweg and Peter Wagner (Berlin Fire Service, Germany). They were asked to give advice on how fire services are organised, to assess their technical equipment (vehicles, materials, protection clothes) and their training, but also to look at their cooperation with other administrative institutions. CTIF experts visited several fire stations in Kosovo and discussed with the local fire brigades but also with representatives from the local government.
As a result, a written report was prepared by the CTIF team, including an overview of the current fire and rescue system in Kosovo, along with practical proposals to improve their organisation to fight against fires and to rescue people based on the ideas and suggestions given by the many colleagues met in Kosovo. The OSCE will focus on these proposals to help develop fire and rescue services in the country.
