Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: level: "milestone" in the procurement of fire-fighting vehicles

Schwerin (dpa / mv) - With the handover of another fire engine, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has, according to its own statements, reached a "further milestone in the largest procurement of fire engine vehicles to date". The handover to the Wessin volunteer fire brigade (Ludwigslust-Parchim district) was a very special one, said Interior Minister Christian level (SPD) on Saturday. "We were able to hand over water to the 200th portable pump vehicle and show the many volunteer comrades that the state government keeps its promise."

With the use of these vehicles, a solid foundation for ensuring fire protection and disaster control is laid nationwide. The "Sustainable fire brigade" program not only brings modern fire brigade technology to the area in large numbers, but also wants to appropriately reward "the voluntary commitment of the comrades of the voluntary fire brigades, which cannot be appreciated enough".

With the program, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is providing a total of 50 million euros in the years 2020 to 2023 to improve fire protection across the board. According to the information, the money will be used in particular to promote the procurement of modern fire-fighting vehicles.
