KW PSP

What KW PSP does

Komenda Wojewódzka Państwowej Straży Pożarnej w Olsztynie (KW PSP) is the Provincial Command of the Polish State Fire Service for the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship, headquartered at Niepodległości 16, Olsztyn. Operating under the Komenda Główna PSP (Main Command of the State Fire Service) in Warsaw, the organization is wholly state-owned and funded through the Polish state budget, with supplementary EU funds for infrastructure projects. Its functional mandate spans firefighting and rescue operations, emergency response coordination, civil defense and population protection, fire prevention education, and professional training of firefighters.

The organization coordinates a network of 21 county and municipal fire departments (KP PSP and KM PSP) covering districts including Bartoszyce, Braniewo, Działdowo, Elbląg, Ełk, Giżycko, Iława, Kętrzyn, Olsztyn, and others. Its service portfolio includes the Ośrodek Szkolenia (Training Center) delivering professional firefighting and qualified first aid (KPP) courses, a Prewencja Społeczna (social prevention) program, and digital public-service products. Notably, KW PSP maintains the ArcGIS-based 'Schrony' application — a nationwide temporary shelter locator for civil defense purposes — and participates in the Wykaz Sal Edukacyjnych PSP directory of fire-safety educational rooms. The organization also administers Kwalifikowane Kursy Zawodowe (KKZ) for firefighting technicians.

As a government state entity, KW PSP has no commercial revenue model. It does not sell services or products; rather, its budget is allocated through the Polish state apparatus, augmented by EU structural funds for infrastructure and modernization projects. Its customers are effectively the civilian population of the voivodeship, local government units (JST) requiring fire service coordination, and volunteer fire brigades (OSP) that depend on KW PSP for training, equipment standards, and operational support. Leadership is appointed by state authorities, with the current Voivodeship Commander being nadbryg. Michał Kamieniecki, supported by Deputy Commander bryg. Kamil Pawukanis and senior officers st. bryg. Andrzej Harhaj and st. bryg. Tomasz Ostrowski.
