Further transport with donated equipment for Ukrainian fire brigades
Frankfurt am Main (ots) –
In the past few weeks, the “Logistics” and “Civil Protection” departments of the Frankfurt am Main fire department have already organized transports of medical supplies and protective clothing for the Ukraine after a request for help from Frankfurt’s twin city of Krakow.
Late on Friday evening, March 25, 2022, another transport started to the city of Kraków, around 980 km away, which is a very important point of contact for refugees and logistics distribution during the Ukraine war.
The contact of a Frankfurt firefighter with Polish roots to responsible firefighters in the Ukraine prevented the foundation stone for the relief operation. Requests for help with specific material requirements reached the Frankfurt fire brigade through him. In particular, the desire for older and simpler technology. A call was then made from Frankfurt to hand over fire brigade equipment and protective clothing to the fire brigades in the region. The response was remarkable. Hoses, fittings, power generators, hydraulic rescue equipment and protective equipment of all kinds were handed in. In addition, a fire engine from the Bad Nauheim fire brigade. Although the equipment and the fire engine are used, they can be used for firefighting operations.
A logistics vehicle including a trailer from the Frankfurt fire department will now take over the transport. As part of the implementation, the Frankfurt am Main fire department took over the central coordination of the logistics bridge, with the disaster control warehouse in the fire brigade street again serving as a logistics hub. Due to the rapid support of all fire departments involved and the targeted control of the processes by the fire department, the transport of the donations could be organized in less than a week.
The vehicles will arrive in Kraków during Saturday afternoon. In addition to the transport vehicle loaded with 32 pallets and a command vehicle from the Frankfurt am Main fire department, each of which is staffed by volunteers from the Eschersheim volunteer fire brigade and officials from the professional fire brigade, the Bad Nauheim fire brigade’s fire engine is also part of the train. This WILL be transferred by two comrades from Bad Nauheim.
