GlobalMedic

GlobalMedic’s Rapid Response Team was in İzmir, Türkiye, following a devastating wildfire season that impacted large areas of the region.

The team was on the ground to support the rollout of a Fire Skid program designed to strengthen local wildfire response. These units can transform pickup trucks into mobile firefighting vehicles, allowing crews to access remote or hard-to-reach areas where traditional fire trucks cannot operate.

Each fire skid includes a 1,000-liter water tank mounted on a platform, along with a pump, engine, and fire hose — creating a compact, self-contained firefighting system.

By introducing these units, GlobalMedic is helping improve rapid response capabilities in wildfire-prone areas, ensuring teams can act quickly and more effectively to contain fires and protect communities.
