European firefighters set to MIRG protocols

摘要

The Interreg Ⅳ A 2 Seas MIRG-EU project brings together firefighting teams from Zeeland, Antwerp, Beveren and Ghent, Calais and Kent to provide a co-ordinated response to incidents on board ships. Jointly, they establish international, specialist teams called Maritime Incident Response Groups. The fast and effective intervention of these teams in the case of fire or incidents involving hazardous substances prevents casualties and evacuations at sea and helps to combat environmental pollution.
