🎥Feuerwehr Celle Belastungsübung!

During yesterday’s service of the chemical and radiation protection train, the annual load exercise for our CSA carriers was on the agenda. Together we went to a Celler gym and to the training equipment for our dangerous goods specialists. Instead of sporty clothes, a friendly orange now dominated the rooms. Perhaps a new trend, because the outfit supported the sporting success of the evening and let many beads of sweat flow.

We are working for Celle. Voluntary. Without exception.

Thanks to Cf Celle for the support!

“Pretending just isn’t enough.” In a recent interview, HazSim founder Phil Ambrose shared why realistic, hands-on training is critical for hazmat teams: “Firefighters need to see the readings change and be forced to figure out what to do next. Incident command needs those real-time reports to make the right calls. That’s how we get better at hazmat mitigation.”

Polk County’s hazmat team—60 strong, covering 2,000+ square miles and 725,000 residents—has been training monthly since 1973, setting the standard for preparedness.
