Fire Brigade Wildeshausen: De -escalation training against attacks on helpers!

Wildeshausen, Deutschland - Wildeshausen - In the rural regions of Germany, where one might not suspect it, attacks on emergency services such as Fire brigade and emergency services are increasing dramatically. A current incident at Oldenburg, in which a driver injured a fire brigade, illustrates the explosive situation. In order to be better prepared for such threats, the Wildeshausen fire brigade is breaking new ground with an innovative de -escalation training. In cooperation with the Maltese, they started a program that includes both theoretical and practical elements in order to give the helpers strategies as they should behave in dangerous situations. The central message: "We are there to help, but we are not heroes", as it said in the training. An important focus is on recognizing and avoiding escalations at an early stage in order to ensure the safety of the emergency services, reported fireworld.at

On Sunday morning, the firefighters of Wildeshausen fell twice on alert. First, shortly after six o'clock, they had to go to a supposed fire fire near Westring/Visbeker Straße. On site, however, it turned out that it was only smoke from a incorrectly triggered burglary detection system - no fire far and wide, as the fire brigade reported. After the emergency services had just turned around, the alarm deters went into operation again: this time it burned in a scrap site. Large alarm was triggered at 7:45 a.m. and the fire brigade quickly moved to fight the fire of a metal scrap heap. Thanks to a gripping excavator, the fire could be brought under control quickly, such as nwzonline.de reported.
