New energies (electric, hybrid, gas) and new technologies (airbags, reinforcements, glazing, etc.) are important developments in the vehicle sector. Emergency intervention on electric and hybrid vehicles (IUV) is today, and even more so in the future, a real challenge for emergency services. In the context of interventions for traffic accidents or vehicle fires, fire brigades must adapt their techniques and equipment.

The SDIS 86, aware of these challenges, has initiated a proactive approach since 2005, in partnership with automobile manufacturers and manufacturers of road rescue equipment. An intervention protocol has been drawn up and training courses are offered at the Vienna Fire Training Center.

In parallel to this approach, SDIS 86, in partnership with SDIS44, the National School of Fire Brigade Officers and the Fédération nationale des sapeurs-pompiers de France, the Directorate General of Civil Security and Crisis Management, the International Fire Technical Committee and the support of Weber-Rescue Systems and Renault, organized technical days on its site at the training center in 2014 and 2016.

During the last edition of Technical Days, in 2016, nearly 450 people (participants, exhibitors, speakers, etc.) from 58 French departments and 14 different countries were present to attend the conferences, workshops and scheduled practical demonstrations.

In view of the success of these technical days, SDIS 86 has decided to renew the organization of this international event and would be happy to count you among its participants.

For this 3rd edition of the technical days, different sectors of activity will be developed:

ROAD RESCUE WORKSHOPS SECTOR
