Project DIREKTION at the One-Year Mark: Key Achievements and Next Steps

From November 6 to 8, 2024, the regular FEU Council meeting of members of the Federation of European Fire Officers (FEU) took place, this time in Limassol, Cyprus. The FEU is the independent professional body of European fire officer associations or state fire services (including UK and Norway) whose members are senior professionals that have responsibility for strategic management of the Fire and Rescue Services in their respective countries. One of the main topics discussed was the recruitment of new firefighters, with representatives presenting the conditions and processes involved in firefighter recruitment in their respective countries. A key part of the meeting also included presentations on other current issues, including the Czech Association of Fire Officers' report on the floods that affected the Czech Republic. Additionally, discussions covered other major emergencies that have significant cross-border impacts and influence the direction of national policies, especially in the areas of prevention and response. The Czech Association of Fire Officers also updated participants on the latest developments related to the DIREKTION project and the FEU Exchange of Experts program. There was also a discussion on the Working Time Directive and related issues. The next FEU meeting will be held from May 13 to 15, 2025, in Prague, organized by the Czech Association of Fire Officers. This meeting will also mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of the FEU. A ceremonial act at the end of the meeting commemorated this milestone, with representatives of the Czech Association of Fire Officers receiving the FEU flag.

The meeting was also covered by other media outlets. For more information, please refer to https://internationalfireandsafetyjournal.com/feu-suggests-recruitment-and-retention-strategies-for-european-fire-departments/
