European Union member states implement formal education in firefighting at different levels, including undergraduate studies, then graduate and postgraduate studies. The studies cover areas of importance for firefighting and fire protection experts who will improve the firefighting and fire protection system and ensure its functionality and efficiency, especially in leading and commanding large and complex firefighting interventions and open area fires, as well as in cross-border interventions and providing international help.
