On November 6, 2026, a new local station for volunteer rescuers and firefighters was opened in the commune of Izvoare, Florești District. It will serve nine localities with over 5,000 residents, ensuring a faster response in emergencies.

To carry out its missions, the station has been equipped with a STAR-model fire truck—donated by partners from Poland—which has a water capacity of 2,800 liters.

The unit will be staffed by 12 volunteer firefighters who have completed an initial training course organized by the General Inspectorate for Emergencies (IGSU). They have been trained to provide first aid, assist in firefighting, respond to accidents, and support rescue operations until professional crews arrive.

The localities that will benefit from the opening of this new rescue station include Izvoare, Scăieni, Bezeni, Căinarii Vechi, Frumușica, Trifănești, Alexandrovca, Iliciovca, and Maiscoe.

This new facility is the 89th station within the national network and the 29th volunteer station.

The project "EU4 Moldova Resilience – Secure State, Resilient Communities" is funded by the European Union through the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments and implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova, with the support of local authorities.

The project includes building 10 volunteer rescue and firefighting stations. The unit in the village of Izvoare is the third to be inaugurated; seven more are set to open in the localities of Gura Bâcului, Vălcineț, Selemet, Sadaclia, Mateuți, Călinești, and Pepeni.
