Fire brigade exercise in schools village: Spectacular rescue in the pigsty!
On Friday evening, the old pigsty on the Ohle farm in schools village was transformed into an exciting training area for firefighters from schools village, Müssen and Witzeeze. The Integrated Regional Control Center South issued the alarm for a comprehensive operational exercise at 6:15 p.m. The aim of the exercise was to simulate the procedure in the event of a fire caused by careless welding work. The aim was to rescue four missing people.
A total of seven fire engines were mobilized to support the operation. To create the most realistic atmosphere possible, theatrical fog, pyrotechnics, lighting effects and fire sounds were used. Several of the dedicated breathing apparatus wearers ventured into the winding stable and roamed the complex structure with a long hallway and various rooms in search of the missing people.
The heart of the exercise
What happened at the scene was not just a routine exercise. Jörg Koch, fire chief and operations manager, emphasized how important cooperation with neighboring fire departments is. “Regular exercise is the be-all and end-all,” he emphasized. Three teams worked at the same time with jet pipes to rescue people, but this also led to a certain amount of confusion with the hose lines.
To fight the fire, water was pumped onto the site from both a suction well and the village pond using two pumps. The intensive training was over after about an hour, and Koch expressed satisfaction with the process, even if the confusing hose lines needed to be improved.
