The CTIF Fire Prevention Commission met in Gornja Radgona, Slovenia, from 24^th 26^th September during the Protection and Rescue Fair at the Pomurski Sejem venue. Delegates from several member countries gathered to share updates on fire prevention initiatives and to discuss future priorities.

The programme included national reports on smoke alarm campaigns, fire safety engineering practices, and prevention activities in Lithuania. Highlights ranged from a practical demonstration of a new fire prevention truck by Slovenian colleagues to presentations on small-house fire safety from Finland and recent photovoltaic fire testing at the ZAG’s Fire Laboratory.

A key outcome of the meeting was the election of Dr Aleš Jug as chair of the Fire Prevention Commission for the 2025–2030 term. In his new role, Dr Jug will guide the Commission’s work to strengthen cooperation, exchange best practices, and promote fire prevention awareness across all CTIF member states.

The meeting concluded with agreement on a five-year action plan aimed at advancing fire prevention through collaboration and knowledge sharing.
