Firefighting teams and volunteers as well as medical teams took part. The Volunteer Club <em>Extremen<\/em>, at the Tourist Society <em>Rodni Balkani,<\/em> collaborating with RESPONSE on the design of training schemes addressing environmental risks, took part in the exercise. According to the scenario, all local services were mobilised to extinguish the fire, evacuate the injured and set up the oil spill booms to minimise the damage to the marine environment. Traditionally, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), which monitors the enforcement of legislation related to the reduction of the risk of maritime accidents, pollution of the sea by ships and loss of life at sea, participated in the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos: \u00a9 Club Extremen at TD &#8220;Rodni Balkani&#8221;: Breeze 2025 &#8211; fire relief on a warship<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1415\" src=\"http:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.response-project.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Breeze-2025-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bulgarian national naval exercise Breeze 2025 this July conducted drills for responding to a fire on board a naval vessel in the port of Varna and containment of oil spill, from a stricken vessel, as well as rescuing crew members overboard.
