COUNTERMEASURES

new EDU methods combined with the latest research 

This Level 2 education course anticipates future problems faced by emergency responders when dealing with fires in high rise multi-level buildings and complex multi-level basements, creating entirely new challenges in basement fire situations, and raises entirely new issues,
e.g. in the case of fires in connection with compact construction methods and alternative building materials, deeply installed energy storage elements, alternative energies in confined spaces and cellars, with limited intervention options but high risk potential.

This education course focuses on possible complex fire scenarios and countermeasures in timber high-rise construction and in the context of deep basement fires.
Ideally, these countermeasures would also be exactly the skills that the participants already have or believe they have.

Situational awareness is key, in this education, they can test their understanding, their skills, their interior attack tactics, their strategies, in short, their abilities to work safely and effectively in a burning basement.
Simulated basements with aggressive multiple fires, low fire load but effectively fired, are the ideal means of combining camaraderie, teramwork, deep learning, and experience.

Depending on the situation, the limits of the intervention measures or the tactics used are inevitably revealed.

However, these limitations also present opportunities for the further development of the participant.

The application of analytical logic, various heat transfer mechanisms and their characteristics,

their detection by means of signatures and TIC and the application of the ‘Advanced Fire Pentagon’ model to assess complex basement fires and their hazards equips students and participants with the mindset and the experience for the tasks to come.

PHYSICS IS THE KEY - 2025
ADVANCED FIRE DYNAMICS

SEE MORE through DEEP UNDERSTANDING

This Level 1 training course anticipates the future problems faced by emergency services when dealing with fires in deep and high rise multi-storey buildings and addresses completely new issues

fires in connection with super compact construction methods using alternative and multilayered building materials, deeply installed energy storage elements and systems, alternative heating or energies in confined spaces and deep basements with limited intervention options but high risk potential. 

Fire?  ...... never say “NEVER” and never say “ALWAYS”

this is so true of fire, its a chaotic system yes ...... but it always follows physical laws, specifications, and mechanisms.

Those who understand these laws, specifications, and mechanisms can assess the logic of the fire, limit and predict its behaviour, they see deeper and much more refined and see endless shades of grey between black and white, and can thus prepare targeted and effective countermeasures. 

The main focus of this education is experiencing, assessing and understanding the principles and processes of fire, materials, fire spread and energy transfer, as well as the ‘action = reaction’ principle.


Through thermal activation of fire loads and building materials, ventilation, fire spread and heat transfer mechanisms, thermal ventilation and reaction phenomena, trigger events or escalation triggers, and through precise explanations of the causes and effects of these dynamics and processes, 

experiential and task-based emotions are used to impart basic and advanced knowledge.
