The Government supported for submission for consideration the draft law “Fire Safety, Firefighting and Rescue Operations Act”

Ministry of the Interior

The Government supported for submission for consideration the draft law “Fire Safety, Firefighting and Rescue Operations Act” developed by the Ministry of the Interior to Saeima.

The aim of the draft law is to improve the fire safety situation in Latvia, to reduce the number of deaths and victims in fires, as well as the financial consequences of fires on the Latvian economy.

The State Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) together with other agencies are working on the implementation of the Unified Fire Safety and Civil Defense Platform. As a result of the introduction of the platform, fire safety monitoring processes will be digitized, making the field of fire safety more efficient.

The platform will provide fire safety monitoring precisely in objects with a higher risk of fire safety.

Awareness of object owners about liability in fulfilling fire safety requirements will be enhanced.

The unified platform for fire safety and civil defence is being implemented as funds from the Recovery Fund. The project is implemented by the Information Center of the Ministry of the Interior in cooperation with SFRS.

It is planned that the platform will go into operation in 2026. in the middle of the year.
