Trainingen

H2K organiseert een breed pakket praktijktrainingen om de kennis en vaardigheden van repressief brandweerpersoneel verder te ontwikkelen. Met reële en herkenbare incidentsituaties en scenario’s. De trainingen kunnen op locatie worden verzorgd, maar ook op oefencentra. H2K werkt bij de organisatie van trainingen samen met diverse oefencentra in Nederland, België en Frankrijk. Dankzij deze partnerschappen is het mogelijk uiteenlopende incidentscenario’s en specialistische hulpverleningstaken op elke gewenste schaal praktisch te trainen in een realistische omgeving.

Foam School

In cooperation with Dr. Sthamer H2K organizes an annual Foam School

The 5-day H2K Foam School will take place on the training centre in Vernon France. This former refinery site, with all its utilities was transformed in a well-equipped centre for realistic training of credible industrial incidents.

The Foam School is accredited by the not-for-profit JOIFF organisation. (www.JOIFF.com) The training has been especially designed for those who have to deal with or have responsibility for emergency response in case of large-scale flammable liquid firefighting but also for insurance company personnel and fire engineers to gain more insight into fixed and mobile foam systems.

The Foam School is a blend of theory, workshops, demonstrations and practical firefighting. The training is provided by instructors from H2K and Dr. Sthamer.

Included in the training program are the following topics:

• New developments and insights on foam systems, fire fighting foams and polar solvents
• NFPA 11: Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-expansion Foam
• EN 1568: Fire extinguishing media, foam concentrates, specification for low expansion foam concentrates for surface application to water-immiscible liquids
• EN 13565: Fixed firefighting systems, foam systems, design and construction and maintenance
• Foam selection: testing, rating, storage and stability and international standards
• Fire fighting foams: fluor free foam concentrates, C6 foam concentrates, legislation and good practises
• Incident scenarios at atmospheric tanks and bunded areas
• Lessons learned
• Demos of fire fighting response with fixed foam systems
• Practical training

The practical training will include training of real onsite tank fire, fire in a bunded area, onsite tank fire, hydrocarbon jet fires and a large-scale ethanol pool fire.
The foam school is a 5-day event commencing on Monday at dinnertime. Friday is a travelling day also.
