FIRE IN
The first European Fire and Rescue Innovation Network
Raise society’s resilience (citizens and industry) by communicating and/or instructing how to be well-prepared for a crisis and how to behave when a crisis event occurs.
The programs should focus on the direct meeting of rescuers with residents to address fire safety issues within their homes with a proactive approach to help prevent fires and damage to people and property related to fires.
To be able to reach the community involvement we should develop public self-protection to minimize responders’ exposure, involving communities in preparing population for the worst scenario before it happens, for low frequency high impact situations. It is important to foster a cultural change in risk while increasing tolerance and resilience to it.
| Conceptual compilation of the results collected in 2018 2019 during Fire-in workshops about Community involvement | |||
| High Flow of Responders in Hostile Environment | High Impact, Low Frequency Emergencies | Multi-agency / Multi leadership Environment | High Level of Uncertainty |
| Develop public self-protection to minimize responders’ exposure. | Involve communities in preparing population for the worst scenario before it happens, for low frequency, high impact. | Cultural change in risk tolerance and resilience. | |
| 1. Change of paradigma: b. Educate kids and the young ones. c. Explain clearly that responders cannot protect everybody in case of major incident. Self-protection and prevention are keys.
3. Emergency messages: - Communication campaigns targeted to specific communities. - Multi-language apps, with standardized symbology. - Community’s lessons learnt by past disasters, collective memory, community’s values. b. Manage and involve mass media. Perform training on means formass information. c. Massive alerts to population.
b. Identify key stakeholders and increase their understanding:- those with power to create opinion- those that take key decisions | 1. Emergency messages: Unify messages (of alert)directed towards public,between agencies, regionsand countries | 1. Change of culture:

A research and development project using turbine technology for rescue and firefighting operations was initiated by the State Fire Service. The concept of using turbine engines in fire protection for such events as great fires of forests, large-volume facilities and technological installations, especially in the petrochemical and chemical industries, has been known since the early 1960s.
Putting out rail vehicles is not a light, easy and pleasant task. The main threat and difficulty in the implementation of the tactical intention of the conducted action is the presence of high voltages of the overhead contact line supplying the devices and driving elements. It might seem that it is absolutely unacceptable to supply water or foam before disconnecting the power supply – but is it really?
Aamks is an open source, web-based platform for assessing the fire safety of humans in buildings. Aamks runs hundreds of fire simulations (CFAST) and evacuation simulations (Aamks.Evac) and then evaluates the results. In each simulation humans are moving across the building and are affected by fire and smoke.
