Under the guidance of experienced instructors, aspiring commanders of the Dutch Caribbean Fire Brigade develop the basic skills needed to effectively respond to emergencies. The exercises will be held at fire stations, airports and various public locations between August 12 and September 26.
Practice in public places
The aim of the exercises is to extinguish fires in so-called high-risk buildings such as homes, schools, restaurants, gas stations and childcare centres. These exercises use, among other things, fire engines and special computer programs to keep things dry. This way, the actual simulations are more realistic and allow the participants to practice properly. These actual simulations are possible in part thanks to the cooperation and availability of buildings and institutions on Bonaire.
course
In March 2024, the Dutch Caribbean Fire Brigade began an intensive training course for commanders, mainly on Bonaire. In May 2024, commanders from Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius successfully completed their first block. The second phase began on 12 August and will last until the end of October 2024, including two weeks of intensive training in the Netherlands and Germany.
The BKCN asks residents to take these drills into consideration. Your understanding and support is vital as these future commanders prepare to protect our communities. Together, we work towards a safe Caribbean Netherlands.
