The Helmond municipal offices formed the backdrop for a spectacular scenario for four evenings. On the second floor, a fire started as the result of a gas leak. On floor three, the gas accumulates. As soon as the units arrive at the scene, a gas explosion occurs. The fire blazes to the roof, which poses a technical challenge for the access platform. Various units and emergency vehicles are involved in the exercise.<\/p>\n
By using hybrid techniques, a combination of real fire and simulated fire, any risk of damage to the exercise location was avoided. In the offices, the fire simulation was provided by a tactical arrangement of Phoenix Silkflames<\/a>, FireSpots<\/a>, Cumulus<\/a> and Stratus<\/a> smoke machines and smoke hoses. The smoke machines and silkflames could be controlled centrally, from a tablet, with the Incident Server<\/a> and Incident Clients<\/a>. This enabled dynamic staging.<\/p>\n On the roof of the building, it was possible to stage a real fire. A Hybrid fire extinguisher<\/a> was installed to simulate the spreading gas fire. The men were put on edge with the help of an explosion simulator<\/a>.<\/p>\n The simulation equipment used in this exercise comes from the specialised rental fleet of FireWare<\/a>. These training materials are always ready for use in our warehouse racks. On the first evening, our simulation specialist Merijn came by to provide technical support. Since this exercise went smoothly, Fire Brigade Brabant Southeast ran the exercise independently for the rest of the week!<\/p>\n Are you also facing a staging challenge, for which the staging engineers and rental fleet of FireWare can offer a solution? Feel free to contact us<\/a> at +31 (0)88 252 6000. We’ll be happy to think along with you!<\/p>\nFireWare provides the staging, Fire Brigade Brabant Southeast provides the control.<\/h2>\n
