Firefighting equipment support in Croatia and Bosnia

Overview

Efforts to bolster firefighting capabilities in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have focused on equipment procurement and regional support.

In Croatia, a new batch of six specialized forest firefighting vehicles was delivered to units in Petrinja, Buzet, Imotski, Županja, Senj, and Brestovac. This delivery is part of a broader project to procure 78 vehicles, including units with 2,500-liter and 5,000-liter capacities, funded through forest management resources. Chief Firefighting Commander Slavko Tucaković noted that these investments strengthen operational capabilities.

In the broader region, volunteer services face varying levels of support. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Volunteer Firefighting Society in Vogošća continues to provide critical search and rescue and fire intervention services despite challenges with aging equipment and personnel shortages. Meanwhile, in Croatia, the Public Firefighting Unit of Virovitica donated a Unimog U500 specialized vehicle to the Volunteer Firefighting Society in Voćin to assist with fighting fires in difficult, forested terrain.
