Off-road driving course: State Emergency Service drivers have completed specialist training
The Ukrainian FireFighters Foundation announced this on its Facebook page
The project is being implemented with the support of the international charitable foundation Nova Ukraine.
The training focused on vehicle stability and control in extreme conditions: deep ruts, unstable surfaces and sudden changes in terrain.
Key skills mastered by the drivers:
-
Driving techniques: controlling the vehicle when traction is lost and using four-wheel drive correctly.
-
Safety: navigating difficult sections without risk to the crew or equipment.
-
Mental resilience: making quick decisions in stressful situations.
Why this is important
In real-life operations, ‘minor details’ on the road can cost precious time. Through regular training, rescue workers hone the skills that allow them to reach the scene of an emergency as quickly and safely as possible, even in the complete absence of roads.
The organisers would like to thank their partners and everyone who helps to strengthen the capabilities of Ukrainian firefighters.
