The participants were trained according to the content of the Saarland's Truppmann/Truppfrau Part 1 learning objective catalog. This is intended to ensure that the training is conducted uniformly throughout the state. This offers particular advantages during operations that take place across local or municipal boundaries.
In addition to the use of modern media – training as online instruction – training content was also conveyed in practice.
These were:
First Aid
Device knowledge
Rescue
Vehicle Knowledge
Burning & Extinguishing
UVV & Accident Insurance
Firefighting operation
Behavior in Case of Danger
Technical Assistance
Legal bases
All participants had to confirm what they had learned in a performance test after 8 online trainings and 3 practical units (a total of approx. 40 hours).
All participants were able to successfully complete the performance assessment.
Thus, additional personnel are available for the operational units of the fire districts Schmelz, Hüttersdorf, Limbach, and Michelbach.
The next training courses are now Truppmann/frau Part 2 and Truppführer/in, to further deepen the learning content and acquire additional training topics.
These training courses have been taking place for years in cooperation with the FFW Lebach.
Thanks go to the two training officers of the FFW Lebach and FFW Schmelz as well as to all trainers of the two fire brigades. All of this is carried out in addition to the required duties in the brigades to continue ensuring operational readiness in the fire brigades of the city of Lebach and the municipality of Schmelz.
