That surgical unit seems pretty impressinve Sune. I don't think there's anything like that attached to our emergency services - possible the nearest equivalent would be from the Army.
Hi all..
I found this "folder"-thingy about the Emergency Hospital we have where I'm volunteer...

Also, I'm working on writing a bit about the educations our firefighters get - will be online as soon a...
Suni, with the roof structure as shown in that almost complete building, there is no need for the frame to burn away. When some heat gets to those gang nail joints they'll heat the beams enough so that the metal plates will fall out. Metal plates ...
Sune, your English is better than half the people on this forum. Don't worry about it. Thank you for an interesting post.
Hi Tony..
Thanks! Great reply...
By law we can also take water from where we want, but it still makes sense to NOT piss of the population, if we can avoid it... ;-)
But it's not everywhere they do it like i said.. Some do, some don't, some never ...
G’day again Sune, I’ve been reading more than writing! Australia isn’t the country you thought you’d be hearing from, but you are anyway...
It’s interesting to see just how few vehicles and crew you send to a house fire. It’s obviously successful...
The two things that affect life safety are fire extinguishment and ventilation. Ventilation when done correctly and in concert with fire suppression removes the heat and smoke and reduces the risk to firefighters and potential victims. If you can ...
I think (and so does every other danish firefighter) that's its amazing how many people can be at a fire in the US...
But when you dissect it, it shows that everybody is going to good use...
We would send in an initial attack with 2 guys, and the...
Well you have to understand that for a working house fire there is going to be the initial attack line with a crew of 2-3, the ladder may start roof ventilation (if needed) or horizontal ventilation from the exterior, 2 ff's. If there are exposure...
That's a lot of personnel..
But yes, there is a big difference in the general construction-types in europe and the US...
Sune:
Staffing on the engine(generally) is 4: a driver, officer and 2 firefighters, ladder is typically 2-3. So within about 8-10 minutes of the alarm we will generally have 12-14 ff's on scene.
I think the difference in the engine assignments i...
Hi Jack..
Again, a big difference in the number of vehicles..
You send 3 enginges, a ladder, and a rescue to a house-fire..
Where we only send 1 engine and a tanker/or ladder..
- What is the staff on the vehicles?
We also have a very good hydran...
Sunne,
Your “mødeplaner” sounds like what we call a pre-plan, which is a physical survey of any structure with hazards, hydrants, fire department connections, utility locations, exits, occupancies, restrictions and fire load noted with a predeter...
For a normal residential fire we would mostly still send 1 tanker and 1 engine...
(if it's a normal 1-family house)..
But then again, most of the houses in Denmark is masonry, so we don't have the same problems as the US has with the light wooden ...
We use a similar system for responses. Our running schedule is based on answers to questions from the calling party. A dispatch determinate pulls up the response apparatus. In my area, a residential fire assignment is 3 engines, 2 tankers, ambulan...
It's been under way a long time in Denmark, but unfortunately some of the old officials and politicians didn't want to change it...
But in 2005 a law was made about risk based assessment, and then in 2008 it was 100% implemented.
