The Croatian Armed Forces maintain fire safety measures throughout the year, and our crews have participated in four interventions since the beginning of the year”, said Brig. Gen. Jurić, who also emphasissed that Croatian Armed Forces had put in place superbly trained crews, operating in highly demanding situations, and announced the participation of the Firefighting Squadron at the international exercise to be held in Greece, where its members were to exchange experiences, tactics and procedures aimed at synchronised joint operation and upgrading the firefighting efficiency.
The show presented Sergeant Ivica Dundović, CIS maintenance NCO of the 93rd Base’s Hq Company and a Glagolitic chant enthousiast in his spare time; and Zlatko Dragoje, postal and records administrator and hobby bee-keeper and hunter.
The second show was co-anchored again by 1st. Lt. Antonija Mutabdžija, a Bell-206 B helicopter pilot, who announced the next show scheduled in May dedicated to the Croatian Armed Forces Day.
