Summary
The large number of forest fires and poor equipment of national services to deal with this problem have been a serious problem both in Montenegro and in the neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina. Forest fires frequently occur in the territories of both Municipality of Niksic and Municipality of Trebinje which are regions of high fire risk. The project aims at reducing the number of human-caused fires by intensive public information campaign about responsible behaviour, risks that should be avoided and preventive actions. Some of the project activities are related to trainings and procurement of equipment for the Fire Departments is Trebinje and Niksic and volunteer fire associations from the cross-border area. The project activities will include also the exchange of good practice so as to enable members and employees of the two Fire Departments to meet the needs of the local population in a more adequate way. These activities will upgrade their capacities to react in a more efficient manner and thus significantly reduce possible damage.
