"The National Fire and Rescue System (KSRG) is an integral part of the internal security organization of the state, aimed at saving life, health, property or the environment, forecasting, recognizing and combating fires, natural disasters or other local threats. "

The KSRG seems to be a collaboration between the State fire department and the volunteer fire departments and various rescue agencies . As of 2021 they are still adding Volunteer Fire Departments to the KSRG. Apparently there are requirements that the local VFDs have to meet. The VFDs are funded by the local govts mostly]

" The KSRG is based on the State Fire Service, the leading and state-maintained rescue service, as well as the Volunteer Fire Brigades, maintained from local government budgets and subsidies from the state budget. The partnership of these services is based on mutual cooperation, implementation of task, organizational, training, equipment and documentation standards expected by the state throughout the territory of the Republic of Poland, with the possibility of organizing rescue and humanitarian aid both within the country and abroad.
