Kolekcionar vatrogasnog znakovlja

Nastavljajući dugu tradiciju hrvatskog dobrovoljnog vatrogastva i u Gatima je u svibnju 1984. godine osnovano Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Gata. Za prvog predsjednika izabran je Dalibor Jerić, tajnika Filip Praničević, te zapovjednika Ivan Kuvačić. Prve prostorije DVD-a su se nalazile u baraci u Gomili, a dio vozila je bio smješten u Zadružnom domu. 1989. godine su dovršene nove prostorije DVD-a , a izgrađene su u sklopu Zadružnog doma. Te prostorije su najvećim dijelom izgrađene dobrovoljnim radom, a materijal je osigurao vatrogasni savez. Prva vozila su dobivena donacijom DVD-a Omiš koji su donirali 2 vozila: “Fiću” i IMV-a .Tijekom godina vozni park se mijenjao, ali ni približno dovoljno brzo, tako da je trenutni vozni park u prosjeku stariji od 20 godina. U brojnim vatrogasnim i drugim intervencijama spašeni su mnogi životi i imovina neprocjenjive važnosti. Društvo je dalo velik doprinos u unapređenju zaštite od požara, te sudjelovalo je u svim akcijama čišćenja i uređivanja okoliša.

Continuing the long tradition of Croatian volunteer firefighting, the Gata Voluntary Fire Brigade was founded in May 1984 in Gati. Dalibor Jerić was elected the first president, Filip Praničević secretary and Ivan Kuvačić commander. The first rooms of the DVD were located in the barracks in Gomila, and part of the vehicle was located in the Cooperative Home. In 1989, new DVD rooms were completed and built as part of the Cooperative Home. These premises were mostly built by voluntary work, and the material was provided by the fire brigade. The first vehicles were donated by DVD Omis, which donated 2 vehicles: "Fić" and IMV. Over the years, the fleet has changed, but not nearly fast enough, so that the current fleet is on average older than 20 years. Numerous firefighters and other interventions have saved many lives and property of inestimable importance. The company has made a great contribution to the improvement of fire protection, and has participated in all actions of cleaning and landscaping.
