308[w]82 SLKw - Lublin 2 - Warsaw, Poland

A Daewoo Lublin II van, stationed at Warsaw’s Fire and Rescue Unit 8 (JRG-8, Praga-Południe). It is used for supply/transport duties, but its primary purpose is to serve as a support vehicle of the Specialist Medical Rescue Group ‘Warszawa 8’. In the case of a mass casualty incident (as well as maneuvers, large outdoor events, etc.), it is used to deliver a range of equipment, including:

-camp beds;
-sleeping bags;
-blankets;
-R1, R2 first aid sets;
-backboards;
-portable respirators;
-AED sets;
-other medical equipment.

JRG-8 provides cover for the Praga-Południe district. It was established in 1961 and for some time, Warsaw Fire Brigade HQ offices were located in the station building. Today, the Voivodoship (Regional/Provincial) HQ of the State Fire Service uses the spacious JRG-8 building as the base for its training unit, the SDF KSRG (the National Fire and Rescue System Development Section). Station 8 is also home to the Specialist Medical Rescue Group ‘Warszawa-8’. The group’s main role is organizing treatment for large numbers of casualties at major incidents, but it also carries out rehab & care duties. The station also holds a stock of first aid equipment, backboards, etc.
