Accidents in connection to building construction and civil engineering rarely occur, but are among the most dangerous operations of all. Trenches, slopes and retaining walls are primary operation sites for the fire brigade in such situations. Our experienced team prepares participants for such interventions. Our aim is to explain the risks and provide you with the necessary basic knowledge in order for you to be able to provide rescue services rapidly without endangering yourself in an extreme situation. Accidents in connection to building construction and civil engineering require a lot of staff, equipment and time from the fire brigade. What makes matters worse is that most fire brigades are not able to practise for such interventions.

Fire containers are used to prepare and train firefighters for interior fire attacks. During the training, participants are confronted with heat and the need to read the smoke. For this purpose, we use a wood-burning fire source which shows the fire development from an initial fire to a total fire. This enables us to offer a large number of practice units. In future operations, participants can then make optimal use of their skills. During the training, participants experience a realistic smoke development, which allows them to be fully prepared for operation. With our mobile fire simulation systems, participants learn how to handle the physical and psychological stress that may occur during operations.

Due to the rapid outbreak of a fire, it is important to be adequately trained in performing the initial steps during a firefighting intervention. Course participants learn how to extinguish fires using simple tools. In the theoretical part of our training courses, participants learn about the outbreak and propagation of fires. They are also shown methods and tools for detecting and preventing fires. Other important points of the theoretical part are how to behave in the case of a fire (alert - rescue - extinguish), escape route orientation and evacuation instructions.

The practical part takes place on your factory premises. Participants put their acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. They are shown different strategies for extinguishing fires, depending on different types of fire extinguishers and hoses. Our experienced team also demonstrates the correct usage of fire blankets when extinguishing fires.

Product manufacturers must ensure that their articles comply with the numerous safety regulations, including flammability and fire requirements. In our specially constructed fire test facilities, we conduct realistic fire tests with gas- or wood-burning fire sources. Very often, the reaction of structural components and various substances can only be determined by means of actual fire testing under realistic conditions. The data from the trial series can be evaluated using various measurement systems. Values that have been calculated in theory can be reconstructed and verified during practical tests.

The turntable ladder is the most commonly used aerial apparatus for firefighting nowadays. During our turntable ladder training sessions, participants can practice operational tactics with the respective aerial appliance available. In addition, they are trained to be machine operators and acquire the specific knowledge necessary for operations. The target audience of this training is future machine operators, chief officers and aerial ladder platform operators.

Drones are no longer used exclusively by the military. A number of years ago, ¨it was discovered that unmanned aircraft systems are also suitable for disaster and emergency management, which is why we now also offer training on how to use drones. Furthermore, we offer fully automated drone systems which can be used in your operations.

In the case of an incident involving dangerous substances, there is no standard programme for firefighters to rely on. This training includes different points which help participants act safely during operations involving dangerous substances. Our experienced team shows you how to recognise the presence of dangerous substances, how to estimate the greatest possible danger and how to safely carry out the intervention with the right technique and tactics.

We are constantly surrounded by fire hazards: at home, when out and about and also at work. Each fire leads to an economic loss of several thousand euros. One in three industrial fires causes property damage of more than €500.000. Our different concepts can help you secure your company, protect valuable items and save lives. Our experts work with you to develop a detailed system that is orientated towards protecting your property as well as implementing fire protection based on norms, laws and regulations. Our concepts cover various aspects in order to develop an ideal fire safety plan: preventive fire protection for buildings, technological and organisational fire prevention as well as firefighting plans.

Although aeroplanes are considered to be the safest means of transport, many fires occur on aircrafts each year. In such emergencies, every minute counts and every move must be right. Airport fire brigades must make efficient decisions in such situations in order to bring endangered passengers to safety and extinguish the fire at the same time. Therefore, such operations should be constantly practised under realistic conditions.

Fire containers are used to prepare and train firefighters for interior fire attacks. During the training, participants are confronted with heat and artificial smoke. For this purpose, we use a gas-burning fire source which shows the fire development from an initial fire to a total fire. This enables us to offer a large number of exercise units. In future operations, participants can then make optimal use of their skills. With our mobile fire simulation systems, participants learn how to handle the physical and psychological stress, which may occur during operations.

In this training module, our experienced team teaches the basic techniques for fighting industrial fires using extinguishing agents and the right operational tactics. We train participants on site and offer mobile exercise units for the practical part of the training. The main goal of these seminars is for the participants to be able to handle foam correctly and use it in different situations when fighting industrial fires. Furthermore, various foam compounds from different manufacturers are presented and the advantages and disadvantages of the various products are explained.

Our company helps you create fire protection systems as well as develop plans for independent industrial and company fire brigades. We can create and organise a fire brigade for you and also provide you with the necessary equipment in order to develop an independent and efficient fire brigade. Our service portfolio includes creating services fire brigades, writing reports and creating plans in the field of fire protection, planning and consulting regarding preventive fire protection investments, as well as organising and forming industrial and company fire brigades.

People have accidents or fall ill not only in connection to firefighting, but also in everyday life. Very often we are helpless and don’t know how to react. However, in serious emergency situations, it often comes down to a few steps which are crucial for the injured person. In this module, participants learn immediate lifesaving procedures and practise the basics of first aid using practical examples. In addition, your fire brigade can practise bag valve mask ventilation.

Fire brigades rarely have the opportunity to practise truck accidents. Nevertheless, a large number of accidents happen each year which pushes fire brigades to their limits. We offer the possibility to practise such situations as realistically as possible. With the help of our professional trainers, participants acquire theoretical and practical skills of technical rescue with hydraulic rescue appliances. We also prepare professionals and leaders of emergency medical services for complex intervention scenarios.

The use of respiratory protection is certainly the most dangerous and difficult part of firefighting. Unfortunately, firefighters regularly have accidents while wearing respiratory protective equipment due to heat, stress and time pressure. Often, firefighters lack the necessary knowledge in order to avoid accidents. In this training module, by means of examples and practical exercises, participants learn how to avoid future accidents while using breathing apparatuses. Participants will also be prepared, should an emergency occur and they would need to help a fellow firefighter.

The development of new vehicle technologies leads to even more difficulties during technical aid. Every accident is different and automotive technology is becoming increasingly diverse. The development of new vehicles is faster and faster and the installation of new products is more widespread now. Therefore, each fire brigade needs to be up to date with the latest technology.

As you know, practice makes perfect. Well-organised practice is vital in order to be prepared for emergencies, especially for volunteer fire brigades that are called out less often. We organise full-scale exercises adapted to your local circumstances. We offer various modules in order to create a more diverse exercise programme. The full-scale exercises are supported by emergency medical services.

Organising and planning training facilities is a complex process and many financial aspects need to be taken into account. Due to our long-term experience in the field, we can offer a successful model, from planning to execution – we’ll take care of everything! A training facility has an enormous responsibility towards its trainees which is why it is our goal to organise every stage for you, from the planning to the turnkey handover, including training the personnel.

Shipboard fires can lead to very complex operations as many lives, goods and the environment can be at risk. The responsible fire brigade needs to keep a level head and intervene efficiently in order to prevent further damage. In order to manage incidents at sea effectively, it is absolutely necessary to undergo special training in order to be well prepared for a future case of emergency.

During most interior fire attacks respiratory protection prevents one from seeing anything. In this seminar, we prepare participants for such cases before moving on to talk about door systems and door opening methods. We create realistic conditions in order to train a tactical approach during an interior fire attack.

This seminar aims to inform participants about all issues related to respiratory protection, while concentrating on topics you have chosen.

Animals are an important part of people’s lives. Nowadays animal rescue operations are legally regulated as they are subject to the strict Protection of Animals Act. Animals have certain rights which also impact the rescue operations executed by firefighters.

In order for patients involved in traffic accidents to survive, close collaboration between fire brigades and emergency medical services is absolutely crucial. The lack of knowledge regarding other emergency rescue units can often cost valuable time. In this module, participants learn about the latest findings in trauma treatment following traffic accidents. Furthermore, various rescue devices will be introduced, and participants can personally practise on passenger cars or carry out a rescue operation from a truck. The aim is to practise not only firefighting but also emergency medical methods for difficult salvage operations.

The aim of this seminar is to inform participants about rescuing people from and fighting fires inside tunnels. Our team instructs participants on the constructional and technical conditions, as well as the safety concept of tunnel systems. Furthermore, participants learn about adequate operational tactics for fighting tunnel fires and the ventilation systems in place.

The virtual exercises take place in a computer generated, interactive and virtual reality setting that is represented in real time. Participants can engage in this parallel virtual reality to the point where they can no longer distinguish it from the real world. This allows us to simulate and go through real operations.

Participants learn how to orientate themselves with the help of a thermographic camera. They will also be instructed on how to use thermographic cameras correctly and effectively. Furthermore, in this seminar participants learn about tactics for efficient firefighting operations. Our instructors also introduce everything participants need to know about rescuing people and animals and finding missing persons.
