The first meeting of the CTIF working group „voluntary fire brigades“ was held in Salzburg, on February 14th 2014. The CTIF working group is seen as a communication platform for the participating countries to articu late necessary framework conditions for voluntary fire services. Though voluntary fire service systems across Europe and beyond have a wide range of characteristics common interests and needs still appear – such as lobbying, the legal and economic framework of voluntary firemen or the sustainable development of youth fire services. The participating states agreed as future working programme on developing a document (“resolution”) to pronounce common stances of voluntary CTIF fire services.
