  • First Intervention Group

    Another point that is pivotal for the safety is the first intervention group, which steps into action when an alarm has been triggered. Members of this group can locate where the alarm originated, run there, assess the situation and then take appropriate actions (for example they can stop the alarm, to prevent the fire brigade from rushing to our department). All the members of this group received training in first aid, firefighting etc. The members are below:
