KASTELA, Aug 10 (Hina) - In the first seven months of this year 59 per cent less fires have been registered in Croatia than the year before. This proves that, along with more favourable weather conditions, the Government's preventive
and protective measures are effective and well implemented, president of the Croatian Fire-fighter Association, Franjo Greguric, said Tuesday while visiting the Kastel Gomilica voluntary fire-fighter association in south Croatia. In the first seven months of last year, 4,209 fires in the open claimed lives and caused material damage, burning some 16 hectares per fire. This year, 2,116 fires broke out, burning about five hectares per fire, without any lives claimed, Greguric said. He stressed the importance of maintaining and consolidating the cooperation between professional and voluntary fire-fighters. In this sense, he said, we shall draft a new fire-fighting legislature.(hina) lm
