What are RESCUE DAYS?
RESCUE DAYS is the worldwide largest training event on technical rescue. WEBER HYDRAULIK - one of the leading manufacturers of hydraulic rescue systems - initiated a seminar series more than 10 years ago and are continuing it with RESCUE DAYS as an annual highlight.
Why "RESCUE DAYS" in English instead of German?
RESCUE DAYS intends to address rescue workers of diverse nationalities. INDULGE IN AN EXPERIENCE - within the framework RESCUE DAYS participants and instructors, from inland and abroad, can become acquainted with new rescue techniques as well as with the wealth of experience of others.
Why is there RESCUE DAYS?
The number of applications in the field of technical assistance is continually increasing. This can be attributed, not to the least, to the increase in traffic on country roads and motorways.
Time and again, new motor vehicle technology and the diversity of automobiles on the road present new challenges for fire brigades and rescue organisations. Yet, in order to be prepared for these situations, it is necessary to work out various accident scenarios and to gain knowledge on the applied technology. The training covers the areas of car, truck and bus rescues.
Theory ...
... and practice
All three named vehicle types (car, truck and bus) vary for fire fighters and rescue services in a tactical respect, so that uniform procedures for freeing injured persons from their - often - life threatening predicaments, especially with the application of hydraulic rescue equipment, is not possible or not advisable because of the design.
The WEBER-HYDRAULIK instructor team
, under the motto "Moving into the Future with EXPERIENCE", the international WEBER-HYDRAULIK instructor team has developed during the last 10 years to over 40 instructors.
At the RESCUE DAYS the instructors accompany the participants for three days of theory and practice.
In the practical part, simulated accident scenarios are worked through and new rescue techniques learned.
In particular, it is the international exchange of experience between the participants and the instructors that makes RESCUE DAYS into a unique event.
