In 2017 Holmatro celebrated<\/mark> its 50th anniversary: a milestone to be thankful for. This was the perfect moment to give something back to society, so we decided to take our Tools<\/mark> for Life Development Program to the next level.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saving more lives<\/strong>
We joined forces with UKRO IDP and extended our partnership with Firefighters Without Borders. Both organizations aim to save more lives in developing countries. How? By improving the level of local fire & rescue services through equipment donation and training programs. This is a goal we all share: saving people’s lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support program<\/strong>
With Tools<\/mark> for Life Holmatro provides rescue tools<\/mark>, training and other services that support the projects of our partners. Each organization received a cheque symbolizing 100,000 euros worth of support.<\/p>\n\n\n

Members of Firefighters Without Borders travel to Hungary to donate a Holmatro rescue equipment set to the Kotel Foundation who recently got the official status of Fire & Rescue Service.

January 2019<\/strong>
Following previous successful visits in 2017 and 2018, members of\u00a0UKRO IDP<\/a>\u00a0travelled to the Poltava Region in Ukraine to deliver three fully equipped fire engines, including Holmatro rescue tools<\/mark>. They did so together with the\u00a0Scottish Emergency Rescue Association (SERA)<\/a>. In addition, UKRO IDP and SERA organized a week of Road Traffic Collision training, followed by a Vehicle Extrication Challenge. In this rescue competition ( the first ever held in the region!) the firefighters from Poltava were able to show their skills using the donated Holmatro rescue tools<\/mark>. This equipment will dramatically improve rescue capabilities in the Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
