News from Wiener Neustadt: Information evening about extinguishing agents

On November 26, the Otto Sommer Hall of the Vienna Neustadt volunteer fire brigade turned into a place of knowledge when an information evening of the district trainers took place. The central theme of this evening was "extinguishing agent water". Experts and interested parties came together to discuss the basic and advanced aspects of using water as extinguishing agents. It was an opportunity to shed light on different techniques and applications that are indispensable for fire work.

The event offered the participants the opportunity not only to acquire theoretical knowledge, but also to learn practical skills that are of great importance in an emergency. The focus is on the safety awareness and the correct handling of extinguishing agents. In addition, the importance of water was discussed as extinguishing agents, since it is often the first and most important choice for fire operations.

The relevance of such information events cannot be assessed highly enough. Firefighters have to constantly expand their knowledge in order to be prepared for the constantly changing challenges in their work environment. In addition to the transfer of knowledge, the exchange among the participants also plays a crucial role, because the experiences and knowledge of the colleagues can be invaluable in future missions.

A special challenge addressed in the event is the use of water in combination with other extinguishing agents. It was explained how to increase the efficiency of water in the extinguishing process, as well as the possibilities that modern fire protection techniques offer. It is important that the emergency services know exactly when and how they use water optimally to achieve the best results and to ensure the safety of people and property.

Another central topic was the importance of the right equipment. In addition to the common extinguishing hoses and jet tubes, the continuous maintenance and training of the equipment is also important to ensure smooth use in emergencies.

The event was very interested and the feedback from the participants was consistently positive. "It is important to update our knowledge regularly," said one participant. Such evenings not only strengthen expertise, but also the cohesion within the fire brigade and the municipal associations.
