Water on and fire out!

Water on and fire out, was the motto of a training course for the employees of Tiroler Rohre GmbH. Correct fire fighting was discussed under the expert guidance of the fire protection center Karbon from Thaur and the company fire brigade of TRM. 25 people, including the owner Max Kloger, accepted the invitation from the commander of the company fire brigade, Stefan Erhart. First, the theory of fire prevention and fire fighting was discussed in a relaxed atmosphere. The main focus was on correct behavior, compliance with the alarm processes and the various fire classes, as well as the appropriate extinguishing agent. The highlight was the demonstration when water meets burning oil (see photo). After that, the employees were challenged and they started practicing. With carbon dioxide-, powder-, foam- and water extinguishers, as well as a fire blanket, the aim was to fight the blazing fire as quickly as possible. Some of the training participants had to experience first hand that this is not that easy. The impressions of this afternoon were positive across the board, so the participants are now well prepared, should the worst come to the worst.
