The U.S. Embassy Podgorica, in cooperation with the Rescue and Protection Service of the Capital City of Podgorica, organized a fire safety drill on the Embassy’s compound. The Embassy employees and Podgorica’s Rescue Service staff participated in the drill.
The Office of Fire Protection in the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations in Washington, DC, supervised and coordinated the exercise. The drill was a great opportunity to test notification-reactionary times of the Embassy/City Rescue Service and to help build local rescue agency capacities.
