Establishment and work of the Volunteer Firefighting Brigade in Leskovac (1930 - 1941)

In 1930, a Volunteer Firefighting Brigade was established in Leskovac, which, following the enactment of the Law on the Organization of Firefighting in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1933, changed its name to the Volunteer Firefighting Unit. Based on available printed sources, particularly local newspapers such as Leskovački Glasnik and Nedeljne Novine from the interwar period, along with documentation from the Archives of Yugoslavia and electronic sources, it has been confirmed that the Leskovac Volunteer Firefighting Unit operated actively until 1941. The unit focused on fire suppression, managing potential natural disasters, and implementing preventive fire protection measures. However, due to the lack of original materials, information about its existence and activities during World War II remains unknown.
