The Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority has taken part in FDIC International held in the United States, reinforcing its efforts to strengthen international cooperation and share expertise with leading global civil defence and firefighting organisations.

FDIC International is one of the world’s largest events dedicated to firefighting, rescue, and emergency services. It brings together global experts and civil defence leaders to improve coordination and exchange knowledge in critical safety fields.

During the event, the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority completed 74 advanced field training courses and attended 200 workshops and training lectures. This participation highlights its commitment to developing national talent, improving operational readiness, and adopting the latest international practices in firefighting, rescue, and emergency management.

Alongside this, the authority conducted a specialised training programme aimed at strengthening leadership skills in emergency and incident response. The programme also helped exchange best practices in rescue operations, firefighting, emergency medical services, and civil protection.
