Objective
Using evidence from international incidents such as Zeebrugge, Chernobyl, Düsseldorf International Airport and the Channel Tunnel, this project establishes that through a common conduit such as a river, sea or atmosphere, there is the risk that several European countries can become involved in the joint management of major incidents. Inevitably different arrangements exist between respective national organisations and, whilst there are practical difficulties, it is recognised that getting national agencies and particularly firefighting personnel to work to some form of common concept should be an overriding aim. The goal of this project is to meet this aim by producing a European firefighters' basic training programme, whereby firefighting personnel will be able to share knowledge and skills.
Comparative studies will be made of the different cultural backgrounds and legislative requirements in each country. A common initial training programme will then be developed, covering subjects such as safe operations, rescue techniques, extinguishing mechanisms and emergency first aid. The programme will initially be produced in three languages.
The research methodology will require active consultation at all levels in order to share the core principles of scientific and technical firefighting. On completion of the project, an international conference will be organised to launch the training programme.
Impact
The project will introduce a standard approach to firefighting training and study, which is essential for the safety of all communities.
