The Estonian Rescue Board (Estonian: Päästeamet) is an autonomous governmental institution within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Rescue Board is responsible for inland fire and rescue services in Estonia. In general, operational services are organized at county level and the Rescue Board has administrative duties, but there are also some operational units directly under The Rescue Board's control.
Among other duties, the Board carries out explosive ordnance disposal in Estonia through the Estonian EOD Center, which has received U.S. State Department funding. Estonian de-mining personnel have deployed to Afghanistan, and to Georgia, after the South Ossetia War of 2008.
