Dobrovoľný hasičský zbor Tovarné is a non-profit volunteer fire brigade in the village of Tovarné, Slovakia, founded in 1890. Its aim is to educate the public and prepare residents to protect themselves against fires and other emergencies, with a particular focus on children and young people. The brigade runs regular training for its youth fire brigade, prepares young people for district, regional and national firefighting competitions, and introduces them to fire equipment. Members also take part in local emergency interventions, including floods, fires and removing wasp nests, and help the municipality and residents. Each year it holds an open fire-sport event for children from the area. The brigade is funded partly by donations and by the 2% personal income tax designation available to Slovak taxpayers.
