Proper Use of Rescue Shears and Fire Hoses

What happens during a fire department operation? How do I connect a fire hose? When do you use the rescue shears, and how do they work? — The participants who chose the fire department as their topic for the GÖK Project Day explored all these questions in depth. Fortunately, the Marburg-Cappel Volunteer Fire Department is located just a few hundred meters from Steinmühle, and the firefighters agreed to provide on-site training to the Steinmühle students.

The project, titled “Rescue, Extinguish, Recover, Protect—Fire Department and Volunteer Work,” was initiated, fully planned, and carried out by Jonathan Gröb, a fire captain who was still a student teacher at Steinmühle at the time the project was developed. A heartfelt thank you also from the school administration!

It was an interesting topic, as all the participants agreed. They learned a lot about the procedures—from the initial alert to taking action on the scene—and gained insight into the individual steps that take place behind the scenes during an emergency response.

Steinmühle would also like to send a big thank you to the base on Cappeler Umgehungsstraße! That was very interesting!
