“This fire brigade exercise was very important for us and is required by law. From a fire protection perspective, we can now open our new building 10 to our patients and our employees with a clear conscience. My first impression was that everything went very well,” says Anton Ober, the fire protection officer at the Braunau Hospital.
Klaus Litzlbauer, commander of the FF Braunau, spoke of a “very successful large-scale exercise”. Everything happened quickly and professionally. “In a debriefing we will go through all the details of the exercise once more in detail so that we are optimally prepared in an emergency,” says Litzlbauer.
