What we train for

We train firefighters for operations in objects with large penetration depths, e.g. road and rail tunnels. Our training consultants will show you how our training facilities can also be used for other types of UTS, such as tunnel systems from airports or power plant cavers.

How we train

We practice didactics based on experience: In our training facilities, the students experience with all their senses the special operational conditions in UTS and learn how to deal with them. The basis for this is our widely accepted Tunnel Firefighting Procedure, which can be adapted by all fire service systems with little effort.
