Eight officers with special service ranks of the State Fire and Rescue Service, as part of the Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian high-capacity pumping module BaltFloodCombat, are participating in the full-scale exercise "CROSSFLOOD", taking place from September 29 to October 2 in Suceava, Romania.

The exercise scenario involves responding to cross-border flooding and a complex emergency situation in a post-conflict zone.

Participants train to work in an environment where flooding combines with other risks — chemical, biological, and radiological or explosive contamination.

The exercise involves participants and specialized units from Romania, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, and Ukraine, as well as the Estonian Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit.

The project is funded by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations of the European Commission within the framework of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism project "Cross-border flood response exercises in a post-conflict environment – CROSSFLOOD".
