Strong together - professional team training for more safety and less stress in firefighting

Dealing with dangerous situations and stress is part of the work of firefighters. According to the accident statistics of the German Statutory Accident Insurance (DGUV) for the volunteer fire brigades, accidents and injuries to the emergency services occur repeatedly during hazard defence and especially during firefighting. Understanding and applying effective teamwork processes within the operational force structures (platoon, squad, fire team) can reduce accidents during stressful situations. Teamwork processes can be specifically trained during fire protection training, but such training is not yet provided for in existing training guidelines.
