Another important infrastructure project aimed at strengthening the emergency response system has been implemented in Kostanay District. Near the city of Tobyl, in the area of the actively developing "Astana" and "Baiterek" microdistricts, the grand opening of the new fire station No. 28 took place.

The new fire station, equipped in accordance with modern requirements, will improve the responsiveness to emergencies, strengthen the civil protection system, and ensure a higher level of public safety. In the future, the unit will serve new residential areas with a population exceeding 60,000 people, as well as nearby settlements, social and industrial facilities.

The keys to new specialized equipment were handed over to the regional fire service units. In total, the region's fire departments received 12 modern specialized vehicles, including the newly opened fire station No. 28, which was also provided with new equipment.

Measures to develop the emergency prevention and response system are being consistently implemented in Kostanay Region. Over the past three years, 3 billion tenge have been allocated for the development of the sector, fire stations and rescue units have been modernized, and dozens of units of specialized and service equipment have been purchased. This year alone, 1.4 billion tenge have been allocated for these purposes. In addition, about 8 billion tenge have been invested in strengthening the material and technical base of institutions, thanks to which the vehicle fleet of the region's firefighting and forest protection services has been significantly renewed.

The commissioning of the new fire station will improve the efficiency of emergency prevention and response in nearby settlements, at social facilities, and at agro-industrial enterprises. This will also contribute to reducing the environmental and economic damage from fires, as well as further enhancing the level of protection of citizens' lives and property.
