Summary Description of the Project:
Project will be implemented in Lithuania Municipality of Skuodas district and in Latvia Municipality of Vainode. These administration units are bound by Lithuanian-Latvian border. A low index of economic activity and social problems are typical there. Accordingly, these municipalities, in order to solve public problems, have to look for outside financing as local budgets are very small and municipalities constantly experience financial shortage. Public service of fire safety will be modernized with the help of this project.
The aim of project is to ensure safe environment for the residents of Lithuanian and Latvian border region. Districts, fire departments of which are planned to be reinforced, have low resident density, particularly bad transport infrastructure (road less places, etc.), forested areas, numerous peat bogs, big areas of fields not used in agriculture. The latter factors cause serious risk in regard to fire safety: fields, forests and peat bogs get constantly on fire where fire-fighting efficiency is quite low due to bad access to places of natural disaster and poor state of infrastructure of fire-fighting departments.
