Multinational exercise of firefighters held in Croatia

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 29 - A joint exercise was recently held in Divulje, near Split, Croatia, involving Italian, Slovenian, and Croatian firefighters from the North Adriatic Maritime Incident Response Group (Namirg). Namirg is a multinational team made up of men from the command centers of Trieste, Koper (Slovenia), and Croatian Istria, and it is part of an EU-funded project between 2018 and 2019 to train a team specialized in interventions on ships with an onboard fire emergency. The exercise, which was conducted using a Croatian military helicopter Mil Mi 8, allowed firefighters involved in helicopter activities to improve their knowledge and skills while also strengthening friendship and collaboration between firefighters from three different countries.
