Expert personnel from the airport fire department at Hinterstoisser Air Base explain to the young soldiers how to use fire extinguishers and the like in an emergency.

Even outside of the soldier’s trade, helping needs to be learned! A fire is caused in Austria every 20 minutes. That’s 25,000 fires a year. Unfortunately, there are often injuries and fatalities. In the event of a fire, a lot depends on the right action. This week, the basic military service members of Jäger Battalion 17 from Strass are being taught everything they need to know about fighting incipient fires.
