Firefighting Train "Neheim" Rescues Multiple Missing Individuals; Drone Technology Aids in Exercise on Corporate Grounds
Arnsberg Fire Department Conducts Complex Rescue Training Exercise
Last Friday evening, the Arnsberg City Fire Department held a training exercise at the Driller company in Arnsberg. The exercise aimed to prepare emergency services for complex rescues from difficult terrain.
The scenario involved several missing persons in the construction material mounds on the Driller company premises. Upon arrival, the Neheim fire station found the situation chaotic and called the Arnsberg fire department's drone unit for support.
The drone unit, playing a crucial role in gaining a quick overview of the situation, located the first missing person on a construction material mound within a short time. A rescue team was immediately dispatched and used a turntable ladder in combination with a Stokes basket stretcher for the rescue.
Two more missing persons were discovered during the exercise. One was found near a conveyor belt, while another was difficult to reach under the belt. An external truck driver discovered the missing persons and called the fire department. Another missing person was rescued by a team from a shaft.
The use of the turntable ladder and Stokes basket stretcher showcases the versatility of the equipment used by the emergency services. The rescue from a shaft suggests that the training exercise also focused on preparing for rescues in various types of environments.
The training exercise appears to have provided valuable experience for the emergency services in dealing with multiple simultaneous rescue operations. The Arnsberg City Fire Department's operations during this training exercise demonstrate their ability to handle a variety of challenging rescue scenarios.
Regrettably, no further details about the outcome of these rescues were provided. For more information about the Arnsberg City Fire Department, you can contact them at Alter Graben 155, 9755 Arnsberg, or via email at [email protected] and www.feuerwehr-arnsberg.de.
It is worth noting that the training exercise was likely designed to simulate real-life rescue scenarios for the emergency services. The Arnsberg fire department's drone unit played a significant role in this, providing a quick and efficient means of locating the missing persons. The head of the Arnsberg fire department that participated in the training seminar for rescuing missing persons in difficult-to-access terrain is not explicitly named in the available search results.
