HANNOVER, Germany — The CTIF Center for Fire Statistics team participated in INTERSCHUTZ 2026, using the global fire‑service exhibition as a key opportunity to meet with fire brigades and emergency‑service leaders from around the world. 

CTIF’s Delegate's Assembly, held during the event, provided an important forum for exchanging information and discussing current priorities across the international fire‑service community.

The team presented updates on ongoing projects and distributed copies of their latest publications. Personal copies were formally handed to several long‑time supporters of the book initiative, including CTIF President Milan Dubravac; CTIF General Secretary Roman Sykora; Otto Drozd of the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association (NFPA); Andrea Rojas Van Dyck of the Organización de Bomberos Americanos; and Stephan Wevers, President of FEU.
