SAFETY AT ZELL PARTS

Fire brigade practices seriously

01 November 2021

During the main exercise of the Niedernsill volunteer fire brigade on 8th October 2021 approximately 60 floriani and 4 vehicles were used. Two fire engines from the Niedernsill volunteer fire brigade were alerted. The fire brigade practiced extinguishing, searching and rescuing on the Zell Parts premises. 

Particular emphasis was placed on operational tactics. The different processes at the operation site could be processed without any problems and so you are well prepared for emergencies. The fire brigade practiced a major fire in the production hall and in the office building of Zell Parts. A scenario as realistic as possible was created with smoke generators.

The first action taken was to rescue a person (practice dummy) who was on the 1st floor of the office building. Using heavy respiratory protection, the Floriani fought their way up the stairwell to the trapped person. The heavy smoke development made it extremely difficult to rescue the person because visibility was severely impaired. The new breathing apparatus was used in this rescue and was very helpful. With combined forces, the person was rescued and resuscitation measures began immediately.

A total of three suction points were available for the extinguishing work. A hydrant directly in front of the company premises with a water withdrawal volume of approximately 1,000 liters/minute. Furthermore, a large amount of water could be used from the adjacent "Steinbach" for the extinguishing work - approximately 1,600 liters/minute. A new suction point for the West commercial area has been set up on the banks of the Salzach. From there, two supply lines were laid to the company building with an available water volume of approximately 3,200 liters/minute. A considerable total amount of water of approximately 5,800 liters/minute was available for the complex extinguishing work and thus the sufficient water supply for the extinguishing work could be ensured.

In the course of the exercise, the modern fire alarm system was also tested, which worked perfectly. All tasks were mastered with flying colors and so everything is so well prepared if an emergency should really happen, which of course we hope it does not.

Zell Parts would like to thank everyone involved in the Niedernsill volunteer fire brigade for the well-organized and well-executed training run.
