You are always there, where our citizens need help. Therefore, your work conditions must be comfortable, that’s why we provide material-technical base and security for you. With this aim we purchased new work equipment which will be delivered to all rescuers across the country. Our goal is to make such changes on the regular basis.”-state Minister of Internal Affairs.

At the end of the event Minister got familiarized with the new equipment which will be handed out to fire fighters and rescuers.
