Statement on Violence against First Responders
During their 55th Council meeting in Birmingham/UK the 6th June 2024 the Federation of EUropean fire officers (FEU) organised a seminar on Violence against First Responders, especially firefighters. The FEU strongly condemns the incidents of violence directed towards emergency responders and expresses deep concern for their safety and well-being. Recognizing the urgent need for coordinated efforts at both national and European levels to combat this growing threat, the FEU emphasizes that aggressive behavior towards aid workers is never acceptable and that leaders must take decisive action. The purpose of the seminar was to offer concrete examples of successful strategies and interventions to protect those who risk their lives to safeguard our communities. Following the seminar, the FEU released the attached statement to underscore their commitment to these principles. Feel free to share it.
