In brief
ORLEN has allocated PLN 20 million to the 25th edition of the "ORLEN for Firefighters" programme, covering Volunteer and State Fire Service units across Poland. Grants of up to PLN 150,000 cover equipment, training and operational readiness in four areas: industrial and energy rescue, road incidents, climate emergencies and units outside the national rescue system. Applications run until 30 June 2026. Past ORLEN firefighting programmes reached 756 units and more than 10,000 firefighters, with over PLN 36.8 million allocated.
Funding is divided into four areas, including industrial and energy-related rescue operations, road incidents, climate emergencies, and support for units outside the national rescue system.
The programme is increasingly relevant for industrial and maritime safety, as Poland expands its energy infrastructure, ports and logistics networks, where advanced emergency response capabilities are essential.
In 2024–2025, ORLEN allocated over PLN 36.8 million to firefighting support programmes, reaching 756 units and more than 10,000 firefighters nationwide.
Applications are open until 30 June 2026.
