PROJECT HARMONY announces it's 1996 FIRE PREVENTION EXCHANGE PROGRAM to
take place in KARELIA/RUSSIA in the summer of 1996. The American
delegation will travel to Petrozavodsk, Russia and work with the Karelian
Ministry of Domestic Affairs and fire departments in the cities of
Petrozavodsk, Sortavala,and Kondopoga. The itinerary will include a
combination of sightseeing/cultural events and a series of professional
training sessions conducted jointly by American and Russian firemen and
fire prevention officials.
The purpose of the FIRE PREVENTION EXCHANGE PROGRAM is to provide an
educational forum for both Russian and American participants where learning
and actual hands-on training can take place. This year's trip follows the
success of our 1995 exchange with the Petrozavodsk Fire Department. The
program will involve two parts.

fire suppression and their current problems with arson and other fire
prevention issues.
