Subject: Acceptance letter of the application to register the Estonian Ground Forest

Fire Fighting (GFFF) module in the European Civil Protection Pool (ECPP)

Dear Mr Klaos,

Thank you for the commitment and application to register the Ground Forest Fire

Fighting (GFFF) module in the European Civil Protection Pool for 3 years after its

certification.

My services have finalised the preliminary assessment and confirmed the eligibility of

this capacity for the Pool. Therefore, we can move forward and start the certification

process.

The certification process includes a consultative visit, and the participation in a table-top

and a field exercise. We advise you to register the module in the upcoming exercise cycle

MODEX 13, which is foreseen to start in spring 2027. Beforehand, we will jointly

schedule the consultative visit at a convenient date (preferably conducting it together

with the consultative visit for the Estonian Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)

capacity). At the end of the process, when the ECPP certification is granted, you will be

invited to register the capacity as part of the European Civil Protection Pool in the

Common Emergency Communication and Information System (CECIS).

My services remain available to provide you with further guidance on administrative and

operational matters related to the ECPP at the following address: ECHO-EUROPEAN-

[email protected].

Thank you again for your commitment to support the European Civil Protection Pool. I

look forward to continuing our cooperation for further strengthening the Union Civil

Protection Mechanism.

Yours sincerely,

[e-siged]
