Improving Firefighting Skills for Efficient Use of Environment Friendly Extinguishing Foam Agents

Description

<< Objectives >>The main project objective is to improve professional skills of airport firefighters using digitalized approach for reaching the newest ecological standards imposed by the EU Directive EU/2020/784 in regards to the use of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds. The Directive imposes to substitute the regular extinguishing foam agents to Eco-friendly non-fluorine foam agents, by 2025. This environmental request also changes operational procedures for firefighters.<< Implementation >>Within the project we will develop new procedures and training programme for efficient use of new environment friendly extinguishing foam agents, which will be in line with the EU Directive. To achieve proposed project objective, we will setup new guidelines and digitally supported programme for practical training of airport firefighters using the eco-friendly foam agents. We will implement pilot training for the firefighter brigades from partner organizations and evaluate its results.<< Results >>Based on proposed activities the expected project result will be improved professional skills of airport firefighters as well as more environment friendly response at aircraft fires with modern and environment friendly approach. By introducing digitally supported firefighting training, the project is expected to also contribute to improved digital capacity of partner organizations and their staff, to environment protection and to innovative practices in vocational education and training.
