Large common exercise in Landshut: Fire brigade trains rescue operations!

At the Landshut volunteer fire brigade, something was going on at the end of June. The fire trucks and settlements have bundled their strength and carried out an impressive community exercise. The old Pestalozzi school building, which will soon fall victim to the demolition, was made available as a exercise object. This type of cooperation with Lebenshilfe Landshut shows how important the support of local institutions for the fire brigade is. According to Feuerwehr-landshut.de there were a total of four practice stations on the program.

One of the central topics was the "apartment opening". Here the participants learned how door openings can be carried out without violence with a pull-fix. But the violent door opening was also practiced in detail. The Halligan tool was used here to simulate different scenarios at around 200 doors. An area of the school building was also smoked with fog machines in order to realistically add a respiratory protection emergency and at the same time practice the rescue of an accident.

Another important point of the exercise was the elevator opening and the rescue of people from standing lifts.
