The World Rescue Organisation will introduce several new additions at the 2025 World Rescue Challenge (WRC), which will take place from 9 to 14 September next in Karlovac, a city nestled in Central Croatia.
The Chair of the World Rescue Organisation (WRO) has thanked the local authorities in Croatia, as well as the local and national fire and rescue services, for “stepping up at such short notice and for their unwavering support of the World Rescue Organisation”.
Paul Schroeder (pictured left) said that the WRO is continuously striving to enhance and evolve the WRC experience, building on research findings, insights from past events, and invaluable feedback from participants.
“In line with our commitment to innovation and excellence, we have introduced key improvements for the 2025 edition. This year, we will incorporate a second medical assessor in each extrication challenge pit, ensuring a more comprehensive evaluation process.
“Additionally, trauma teams will now have an opportunity to participate in three events instead of two, allowing them to maximize their experience and learning opportunities.”
