Hi Lars!

Thx for your comment - i'm not sure, if a had a powerpoint about ventilation. On weekend i will scan some pages of our training manuals for you.
Fireservice in Austria is in fact similar to Germany but it's not the same.

At the end of 2008 we have 337.170 firefighters in 4.861 firedepartments (even in the smallest villages). The firefighters are responsible for firefighting and helping in other emergency cases.
Not included in our firefighting system are the Emergency medical services - the are provided by other organizations (like the red cross or rescue departments of the bigger cities).
All fire emergencies can be reported under the free number "122" - the average response time from giving an emergency call to the arrival of the first fire unit is about 9 minutes all over the whole territory of Austria.
..->

..->
Austria itself is a federal state with nine states ("Bundesländer"). These states are divided into districts ("Bezirke") and a few statuatory cities. Each state have the legislative authority for some matters of culture, social car and also firepreventing/firefighting. So each of these nine states have it's one firefighting-system - the are very similar but in some ways (e.g. administration, uniforms, ..) not the same.

Austria has, except of the largest 6 capitals (Vienna, Innsbruck, Linz, Salzburg, Klagenfurt and Graz) a volunteer firefigther-system. In these six cities there are career fire services, assisted by volunteers.
These volunteers are not paid and structured in fire departments - each city/community has at least one fire department. Firedepartments of sourrounding villages are joined to a firesection ("Feuerwehrabschnitt") and these sections are forming the firedistricts (the same as the politically districts). The highest level of the command chain is the state, to wich all fire districts of itself belonging to - it is called the "Landesfeuerwehrverband" (state firefighting association).
On the level of the federal state there is only a administrativ organisation, wich gives recommendations to the associations, but don't have any command authority. Lager companys can operate fireservices for there own needs, but these services are subordinated to the local fire department of the village.

In shortform:
fire department (with one or more fire stations)
->
fire section
->
fire district
->
state firefighting association

This was a short summary of our firefighting-organisation here in Austria.
Hope, it was interesting for you.
Nice day and best regards,
Bernd

Thank you for your comment.butI can't access my site after you left a comment.

OK Lars! Ready to help you. But my fire service is very special - I locate in Siberia on arctic circle. Now in my town -39'С.

Hej Lars!

I don't have that powerpoint - and never heard of it..
Ventilation is not used that much in Denmark (and 98% of all ventilation is defensively or as a way to clear smoke AFTER the fire is put out)..

But I will ask around..

Hello Lars,
yes of course Paris firefighters are the best..!!!!why ?????? besause my sons are and so did i when i was there .......when me .......younger.
For we the Américan Firefighers are good also. we are a big family firefighters.

Best regards
Bruno

Hello Lars, i 've receve your message and i make inquiries to power point ventilation with my 2 sons firefighters in Paris. i will tell you when i get something.

Best regards
Bruno

Hi Lars,

yes, it´s a little more less! :-)

But, scandinavien firefighters are well known for their good education and training. I had a training in Denmark a few yaers ago and I must say, very, very good! Some colleaques from me were in sweden for a training and they also say: very, very good!

Like I said, let me know when you want to come and we´ll make a date.
