Polish fire services have engaged in various international cooperation and assistance efforts. In July 2026, the volunteer fire unit in Witnica received hydraulic rescue tools to replace equipment lost in a depot fire, while a delegation from Gizałki visited France to exchange firefighting best practices with Czech and Belgian counterparts.

By August 2026, Polish firefighters were deployed to Spain under the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism. A total of 105 personnel from the GFFF Poland module participated in missions to combat forest fires in difficult terrain, working in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
