Fire departments can be called upon not only on New Year\u2019s Eve, but throughout the entire year. For this reason, it is important to be able to carry out the necessary measures as routinely and effectively as possible. One of the largest fire department drills of the past 10 years took place in late November on the campus of the Steinm\u00fchle School and Boarding School in the Cappel district. <\/p>\n

With a fleet of well over 20 vehicles and more than 70 emergency responders, the Steinm\u00fchle schoolyard and the adjacent Steinm\u00fchlenweg were filled that evening. Countless flashing lights and uniformed firefighters and emergency medical personnel\u2014an unusual sight in this location. The drill being conducted here simulated an emergency response at the learning center for grades 5 and 6 and the adjacent bilingual elementary school. The simulated scenario: After a celebration by the students on the lowest floor of the building, a fire broke out and spread to the upper floors. According to the scenario, children were in danger, some suffered smoke inhalation, and had to be evacuated. <\/p>\n

Evacuation Using a Turntable Ladder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as they would in a real emergency, firefighters rolled out hoses to fight the \u201cfire\u201d with water from the nearby Lahn River. Paramedics from the Malteser, who arrived with three ambulances, rushed to the scene with their equipment to provide medical assistance. The evacuation wasn\u2019t possible without a turntable ladder. So it was extended and positioned in such a way that the girls and boys could be guided outside by the rescuers as quickly and safely as possible. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Various fire departments involved<\/strong><\/p>\n

On site were the fire departments of Marburg-Cappel, Marburg-Mitte, Marburg-Ronhausen, Marburg-Bortshausen, and Marburg-Moischt, as well as the City of Marburg\u2019s incident command team and the Malteser. Also present as exercise observers were the leadership of the Marburg Fire Department, additional executives from the City of Marburg\u2019s Fire Safety Division, and observers from the Malteser. The exercise command center was simulated by an employee of the Marburg-Biedenkopf control center. The youth fire department, the honorary and senior divisions, and individuals from the personal circles of the operational department served as role-players\u2014and, of course, students from the Steinm\u00fchle School & Boarding School. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The result of a successful collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

The impressive fire drill, which lasted just under three hours, is the result of a successful collaboration between the Marburg-Cappel Fire Department\u2014located not far from Steinm\u00fchle\u2014and Jonathan Gr\u00f6b, a teacher at Steinm\u00fchle. Gr\u00f6b is not only a math and physics teacher, but he is also responsible for fire safety at Steinm\u00fchle. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All in all, the drill is viewed by both sides as a win-win situation. On the Steinm\u00fchle grounds, emergency responders encounter a wide variety of buildings, each of which presents different challenges for responding to an emergency. For the students and staff at Steinm\u00fchle, the drills conducted in different buildings provide reassurance about what to do in the event of a fire and give them an idea of what might happen if\u2026 <\/p>\n
