The Association for the Promotion of German Fire Protection (vfdb) will present itself with a colorful mix of topics at its joint stand during INTERSCHUTZ (20 to 25 June 2022) in Hall 13/D50 together with the Association of Heads of Professional Fire Departments (AGBF Bund). The stand motto: "comprehensive, networked, proven".
The vfdb is considered the "inventor" of INTERSCHUTZ. In 1953, the association organized the industry's first major trade exhibition - at that time still called "Der Rote Hahn" - in Essen. The vfdb, together with the German Fire Brigades Association (DFV), is the conceptual sponsor of the world's leading trade fair. At INTERSCHUTZ 2022, the vfdb will be presenting its wide-ranging portfolio of topics at numerous theme islands. The topics include research, rescue services, fire protection, education, protective equipment, technical assistance, control centers and fire protection history. The latest development in digitalization plays an important role.
SIE@vfdb and VIELFALT@vfdb
The recently launched SIE@vfdb and VIELFALT@vfdb initiatives will also present themselves. They are intended both to strengthen the presence of women in future technologies and to underline the appreciation of diversity in the vfdb. In addition, the vfdb will address the international expert audience with numerous presentations - including one on the Commission of Experts on Heavy Rain initiated by the vfdb with the support of the DFV. For the first time, the successful online event series "Praxisdialog@vfdb" will also be held in person at INTERSCHUTZ on Monday, 21 June. This time, together with the research project ResKriVer (communication and information platform for resilient crisis-relevant supply networks), the topic will be "Supply in times of crisis".
Other topics include, for example, preparation options for flash flood events, civil protection and politics, geodata for dynamic damage situations, international agreements on command and control in hazard prevention, or the ever-present forest fire problem.
