Vernon, France
H2K organises realistic trainings for regional firefighting services and corporate firefighting services in a unique training centre in Vernon, France. Vernon is situated to the north-west of Paris, a 5-hour drive from Rotterdam. The training centre is situated on the site of a former refinery of which the tank-park, the loading installations, and various process installations are now in use as training objects. Supervised by Dutch instructors, H2K offers you the possibility to realistically train with a large number of practical facilities and possibilities.
Types of exercises
At this training site, industrial scenarios can be practiced in a hyper-realistic environment. The training centre is extremely suitable for practicing:
- Large-scale flammable liquid firefighting and flammable liquid firefighting in indoor objects;
- The use and the deployment of foam (possibly including personally brought foaming agents);
- Combatting and controlling specific products (like ammonia, chlorine, ethylene oxide and bitumen);
- Combatting and controlling fuels under elevated pressure.
Facilities
The training centre possesses various facilities to train deployment techniques and tactics. A garage workshop, a warehouse for the storage of hazardous substances, a laboratory and an (actual) underground training object are just some examples of the practice facilities on site. These training objects are multi-disciplinary and the duration of fires is realistic, because fluids (diesel/petrol), foam rubber, and wood can be stoked alternatingly or in a combined fashion.
