The objective of the event was to donate a mobile care unit to Ukraine, and attending the event were representatives from the Prefecture, the SDIS, PHF, the National Federation of Firefighters of France, a Ukrainian delegation, and a Polish delegation.

A press conference with representatives from the Prefecture, the SFRS, PHF, and the National Federation of Firefighters of France was held at 12:00 pm, followed by an official presentation and a training platform of the FRS. 

The French Humanitarian Firefighters (PHF) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Saint-Étienne. Founded in 2005, the organization is dedicated to providing assistance to populations in crisis (natural, man-made, and industrial disasters) and to supporting the civil protection services of partner countries.

The Fire and Rescue Service of La Loire and the French Firefighters’ Federation FNPSF are major partners of PHF. Since March 1, 2022, PHF has been active with the Ukrainian population, in particular in connection with the National Federation of French Firefighters (FNSPF).

The donations generated as part of the support for Ukraine have enabled the project to build a mobile care unit, which will soon be sent to Ukraine.

In collaboration with the Polish firefighters and Ukrainian healthcare workers, PHF has acquired a 28 sqm Mobile care unit in order to perform support for the population and reconstruction of healthcare services. This mobile care unit will be officially presented to the press and PHF members and partners on January 16, 2023 at the headquarters of the SDIS of La Loire, in the presence of foreign Ukrainian and Polish delegations.

Then this Mobile unit will be sent to Poland where Ukrainian healthcare workers will receive training on the tool before being able to take the care unit back to Ukraine.

This operation is scheduled to take place in Medika, at the Polish-Ukrainian border on February 3rd and 4th.
