In the village of Dovegh in Tavush Province, on Armenia’s northeastern border, daily life demands particular vigilance and responsibility.

Ensuring security in this border community is of key importance. Firefighter-rescuers responsible for the protection of special facilities also play an important role in this effort.

Through its professional preparedness, discipline and consistent service, the Dovegh Fire and Rescue Team for the Protection of Special Facilities was named the best based on its performance in 2025.

The protection of special facilities requires constant vigilance and preparedness. The priority is not only to respond promptly to emergencies but also to identify and prevent potential hazards in a timely manner.

Although service in a border community has its own distinctive features, the principles underlying the work remain unchanged: discipline, responsibility and mutual trust. The effective completion of the shared task depends on the preparedness of each firefighter-rescuer and the precision of their actions.

Particular importance is therefore attached to coordinated teamwork, the continuous development of skills and practical training exercises.

For the Dovegh firefighter-rescuers, being named the best is an additional incentive to continue serving with the same dedication. Their mission in this border community remains unchanged: to ensure the safety of the special facilities entrusted to their protection, prevent potential hazards and remain ready to respond to any emergency.
