Media outlets report that Tomasz Klimczak, the new rector-in-command of the Fire Academy, is the brother of Dariusz Klimczak, who serves as Infrastructure Minister and is affiliated with the PSL. The Ministry of the Interior and Administration has not officially confirmed the appointment, but whispers within government circles suggest the nomination is imminent.
The PSL minister’s brother is the principal of the Fire Academy
Until recently, Tomasz Klimczak held roles at the Fire Academy, historically known as the Main Fire School. He progressed from commanding a cadet company to leading various school sub-units and later took on responsibilities as a teacher and head of the Construction Safety Department. These roles positioned him on the faculty track for future leadership, even as questions about his management experience linger.
Privately, Klimczak is noted as the brother of the deputy head of the Polish People’s Party, who currently serves as Infrastructure Minister, Dariusz Klimczak. The informal chatter surrounding his possible ascent is intensified by his family connection, prompting discussions about the balance between merit and political influence.
Officials from the Ministry of the Interior and Administration have hinted that Klimczak may be the next rector of the Fire Academy. Critics point to concerns about his limited background in executive leadership and argue that many academy staff members possess higher formal qualifications or broader administrative experience.
Within the firefighting community, some voices believe that after a government reshuffle, the PSL could gain substantial sway over personnel decisions within the State Fire Service, a topic that has generated considerable debate among observers and professionals alike.
There has been no official comment from Minister Klimczak. Reports indicate that the nomination ceremony was rescheduled from Friday to Monday due to unforeseen circumstances involving the Infrastructure Minister.
