Under the guidance of experienced instructors, prospective commanders of the Caribbean Netherlands Fire Service (BKCN) are developing the basic skills needed to effectively respond to emergencies. From August 12 to September 26, the exercises will be held at the airport fire station and various public locations.
Exercising in public places
The exercises focus on firefighting in so-called high-risk buildings, such as homes, schools, restaurants, gas stations and daycare centers. These exercises will be conducted without an actual fire, using fire trucks and special computer programs. This approach makes the actual simulation more realistic, allowing participants to practice effectively. These simulations are made possible through the cooperation and availability of buildings and institutions on the island of Bonaire.
Training Program
In March 2024, the Dutch Caribbean Fire Service began an intensive commander training program, mainly based on Bonaire. Aspiring commanders from Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius successfully completed the first phase of training in May 2024. The second phase of training 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 Fire Department of the Caribbean Netherlands (BKCN) asks residents to take note of these drills. Your understanding and support is vital as these future commanders prepare to protect our communities. Together, we are building a safe Caribbean Netherlands.
