Fire defence on annual subscription
On an annual subscription basis, Fire Services provides fire defence and emergency response for:
Interventions in hazardous environments
Our unit can be called on for highly specific interventions at height, in depth, or requiring a long, difficult or dangerous approach. Trained in reconnaissance and progression techniques in hazardous environments, our crews are able to approach, package and extract a casualty safely.
Chemical incident response
Facing chemical risk, our firefighters are involved at several levels: identifying risks during technical site visits, regular training, and responding to transport accidents or incidents on industrial sites. We intervene where conventional on-site resources are inadequate, insufficient, or unsafe to use given the nature of the substances involved.
