According to the President of the Association for the Promotion of German Fire Protection (vfdb), Dirk Aschenbrenner, fire departments, disaster control, and rescue services are facing major new challenges.

The reason is the diverse global changes. Climate, society, technology – everything is changing,” said Dirk Aschenbrenner at the REAS powered by INTERSCHUTZ trade fair in Montichiari, Italy.

In addition to the use of innovative technology with many new opportunities through digitalization, close international networking and the exchange of know-how are becoming increasingly important.

Fire services, rescue services

At the same time, the exhibitors from Germany want to draw attention to INTERSCHUTZ 2020

The vfdb is represented at a joint stand with Deutsche Messe AG at Italy's pioneering trade fair for disaster protection. The President of the German Fire Brigade Association, Hartmut Ziebs, is also a guest. 

At the same time, the exhibitors from Germany want to draw attention to INTERSCHUTZ 2020 in Hanover, whose ideal sponsor is the vfdb.

The world's pioneering trade fair for fire services, rescue services, civil protection, and security will take place in around 250 days, from June 15th to 20th, 2020.

Italian Civil Defense

International cooperation is more in demand than ever,” said vfdb President - Dirk Aschenbrenner.

He adds, “Because accidents know no national borders. With our presence at REAS, we would like to give our Italian partners and friends an insight into our work. At the same time, we would also like to gain insight into your problem solutions. The Italian Civil Defense is known for its great experience and high quality.”

digitalization

As was the case, the INTERSCHUTZ mascot, rescue dog - 'Timmy', will also be there in Montichiari. The border collie had already won the hearts of Italian guests during INTERSCHUTZ 2015 in Hanover and has since been invited to Montichiari as a guest of honor.

According to Dirk Aschenbrenner, there is no doubt about the consequences of the obvious changes all over the world: In addition to innovative technology - keyword: digitalization, it is about close networking and know-how transfer. REAS powered by Interschutz offers outstanding opportunities as a showcase for the latest technology.
