OBERWART, AUSTRIA. The International Association of Fire and Rescue Services (CTIF) made a significant presence at SIGNAL 112, the major trade fair for fire services, rescue, and civil protection, held in Oberwart, Austria, on March 12, 2026.
The 2026 edition of SIGNAL 112 demonstrated its growing prominence in Central Europe, convening approximately 150 exhibitors representing 11 different countries. The event serves as a crucial meeting point between emergency services and industry stakeholders.
A key moment for CTIF was the participation of President Milan Dubravac in the official opening ceremony.
President Dubravac shared the stage with senior fire service leaders invited to address attendees, highlighting CTIF's vital function in advancing international cooperation, professional dialogue, and innovation within the global fire and rescue sector. His address at the high-level opening immediately boosted CTIF’s visibility throughout the event.
CTIF Vice-President Christophe Marchal also joined the opening proceedings and toured the exhibition floor.
On the margins of SIGNAL 112, both Milan Dubravac and Christophe Marchal also attended the meeting of the Presidium of the Association of Fire Brigades in the European Union, held later the same day. This participation further reflected CTIF’s active engagement in dialogue with European fire service partners.
SIGNAL 112 provided an exceptional platform for CTIF to enhance its visibility, nurture relationships with European counterparts, and reiterate its dedication to fostering cooperation, innovation, and experience exchange to support fire and rescue services globally.
