Fire in a dormitory in Kralupy nad Vltavou
In January 2024, a fire in the area of a dormitory in Kralupy nad Vltavou was reported to the emergency call center 112 of the Fire Rescue Brigade of the Central Bohemian Region. Fires in buildings intended for housing a large number of people are always very challenging for firefighters and also rescued persons. Thanks to the outbreak of the fire outside the apartment unit, the timely detection of the fire, sufficient forces and means and a short arrival time, there were no losses of life. 29 people were transported to alternative accommodation.

Tactical exercise: DESTRUCTION 2024
From April to June, tactical exercises called "DESTRUCTION 2024" took place in various parts of the Central Bohemian Region. There were six exercises in total and their topic was a similar emergency – an explosion in a multi-storey abandoned building. The goal was a realistic exercise of the joint intervention of the bodies of the integrated rescue system in the conditions of a collapsed building. Interventions of this type are among the most complex in terms of safety, as there is always the risk of another building collapse, so any activity in such an environment is very dangerous. A large number of firefighters, police and paramedics, as well as assistants, cooperated together on the exercises, which were very realistic and demanding.
