Zrenjanin: All Zrenjanin elementary schools will display PPES-donated posters that inform children what to do in case of a fire. The poster campaign is part of a larger PPES-supported activity launched by the Ministry of Interior’s Sector for Emergency Management (SEM) in April 2010 to promote fire prevention among children and their families.
The local fire brigade also received a donation of a glass removal kit allowing them to quickly and safely extract traffic accident victims trapped inside their vehicles. Zrenjanin is one of three fire brigades selected to receive the glass kits based on the professionalism exhibited during recent simulation exercises delivered by the Red Cross of Serbia and is the final activity of the FY 2011 sub-grant to the Serbian Red Cross. Presentations to Kragujevac and Krusevac fire brigades are planned in September.
