Summary for the Mappingproject

Handling of crisis in the civilian field has nowadays more focus on public administration and rescue organisations which means altered tasks for the firemen. One problem is that the rescue parties now meet an increasing demand for activity of a kind for which they not always
have adequate competence. 

 

To maintain a high level of competence, the main target of this project
is to lift forward non-formal training which now is established within the various rescue organisations. The European Commission’s memorandum gives example of three categories of learning; formal, non-formal and
in-formal.

 

Non-formal learning is usually organised locally as training courses, personal-learning most of which persons are well aware of regardless of how it has been learnt.

  

Future goal

A digital data bank containing a large collection of techniques and working methods, with a common standard.



If an accident occurs, which requires a participation of several fire brigades; it might well happen that the result will be less satisfactory asthere are differences between stations in approaching the accident. This again could jeopardize safety both for personnel and third party. Considering the differences which are now obvious, the national co-operation and the over-the-border work within the Nordic countries,
it is clear that the intentions from EU for free labour movements are obstructed.

 

There is a considerable demand for both national and international co-ordination for the methods now used by the rescue-organisations and we strongly recommend all national parties to disseminate knowledge to the Nordic countries and together with them apply for a continuation i.e. in the form of a Nordic evolutionary system.

 

Future goal

A virtual meeting place for common training and practice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where do we go from here?

We want to find new co-operation partners who
would like take part in the development of the future rescue-services.

We would like to see Denmark and Norway as our partners in this goal. All European countries who share our interest for development and
progress are welcome
to participate.

Everyone who takes part in a Project contributes with equal shares of engagement. That means everything from organisational consultancy to flexible training, all backed by unrivalled experience and unequalled expertise -
and can be delivered where, when and how you need it.

We want to build a reputation for its high degree of flexibility – offering value-for-money solutions that are specially designed to meet the different needs and cultures of services from every corner of the globe.
