Rescue Experience Brazil

In close cooperation with local fire brigades Holmatro dealer Resgatecnica Equipamentos recently organized two major Rescue Experience events in Brazil.

Rescue Experience Minas Gerais

Brazil counts 26 states and from 22 of them firefighters came to the Rescue Experience that Resgatecnica and Corpo de Bombeiros de Minas Gerais hosted. The event had four simultaneous pits, twelve instructors and the online presence (due to COVID travel restrictions) of Rescue Consultants Marinus Verwijen and Ronald de Zanger.

All hydraulic tools used during this Rescue Experience were the new Holmatro Pentheon Series, which amazed the sixty participants with their speed, control, battery endurance and charging system. The organizers managed to partner with FIAT, so it was possible to cut more than twenty brand new cars in complex scenarios with multiple victims. For the closure of this two day event there was a ceremony managed by the Fire Chief of Minas Gerais Fire Brigade. During the ceremony we also had a simulation of a four car accident with helicopter support for the quick move of critical patients to the hospital.

Rescue Experience Chapéco

For the Rescue Experience in Chapéco our dealer Resgatecnica teamed up with Corpo de Bombeiros de Santa Catarina. The event had twelve simultaneous pits, 180 participants and 24 instructors of the Fire Service and Road Concessioners from all over Brazil. During two days of intense and 100% hands-on training participants had the opportunity to work with Holmatro's CORE hose tools, as well as the battery powered EVO3 tools. This allowed them to better understand the benefits of cordless at complex scenarios. More than sixty vehicles were available, including four electric cars and a truck. The participants were really impressed with the performance and application of Holmatro tools as well as the quality of training and capacity of instructors to share knowledge.
