How can you realistically train for the use of a fire alarm system without relying on a permanently installed fire alarm system? Our digital BMA-Trainer It offers the opportunity to practice typical operational procedures related to a triggered fire alarm system in a practical setting.
We were able to see what this can look like in practice during an exercise of the Essingen Volunteer Fire Department Experience it firsthand. The fire department already uses our fire alarm system trainer in their training and gave us the opportunity to film one of their exercises.
For us, this was a particularly exciting experience: After all, it is something different to present your own development than to directly witness how it is used by emergency personnel in their everyday training.
Video: An overview of the entire exercise process
The following video shows exactly how the exercise unfolded. We accompanied the Essingen volunteer fire department from the initial alarm to the conclusion of the exercise and documented each step.
The video provides an insight into how the BMA-Trainer can be used in a fire brigade exercise and how the digital simulation can be combined with practical training procedures in a real building.
Digital fire alarm system meets practical firefighter training
With our BMA-Trainer Different application scenarios for fire alarm systems can be simulated and individually designed.
The application allows users to create building floor plans, position detectors, and generate appropriate fire service route maps, among other things. The digital fire service information center enables emergency personnel to practice typical operating procedures.
A particular advantage is that the training is not limited to the classroom. The fire alarm system trainer can also be used in real buildings, allowing emergency responders to directly apply the information from the digital fire alarm system to practical actions.
This allows, for example, the following training content to be combined:
- Orientation and operation at the fire brigade information center (FIZ)
- Handling of fire service route maps
- Exploration and orientation in buildings
- Locating triggered fire alarms
- Communication and cooperation within the deployed forces
The exercise at the Essingen volunteer fire department shows how these training contents can be combined into a practical overall procedure.
A special insight for us
Even though we know our BMA-Trainer very well, it is always something special for us to see how our products are actually used in training.
The training exercise at the Essingen volunteer fire department was not only a great success, but also gave us valuable insights into practical application. Seeing how the emergency responders work with the trainer and integrate him into their training procedures is particularly interesting for us.
A heartfelt thank you to the Essingen Volunteer Fire Department, We were delighted to be able to participate in the exercise and document the process with our cameras. Thank you so much for the excellent collaboration and the fascinating insights!
