Henrik Wickström, a member of the Finnish parliament from the National Coalition Party, is preparing to submit a written inquiry to the government regarding its inaction towards securing a permanent status for the Helsinki Rescue School. Currently, the school operates under temporary licenses, and Wickström is concerned about the absence of proposed legislation to formalize its status. This lack of action raises significant questions about the government's commitment to supporting vital educational initiatives in emergency services.

Wickström particularly criticizes the Christian Democrats within the government, accusing them of obstructing the legislative process required for establishing permanent operations for the Helsinki Rescue School. He suggests that their actions may prioritize the position of the Kuopio Rescue School at the expense of Helsinki's needs. Both institutions are essential, and he argues that there should be no competition between them regarding governmental support.

The education provided at the Helsinki Rescue School includes training in both Finnish and Swedish languages, highlighting the importance of bilingual education in emergency services in Finland. Wickström warns that failing to establish a permanent framework for the Helsinki school could jeopardize the future of Swedish-language training in emergency response, which is particularly concerning given Finland's commitment to maintaining language rights.
