Operations involving explosion hazards are among the most challenging situations faced by the fire service. Whether dealing with gas or dust explosions, incidents involving hazardous materials or pyrotechnic substances – emergency services personnel must quickly identify hazards, assess them correctly and act tactically and safely.
This is precisely where the seminar ‘Explosion Protection in Fire Service Operations’ comes in. On 9 September 2026, the vfdb Academy, in collaboration with IND EX®, will provide practical knowledge for professional, works and volunteer fire services, as well as NBC and hazardous materials units. The aim is to increase confidence in decision-making during operations and to strengthen awareness of risks and tactical limitations in the long term.
Participants can look forward to a varied programme featuring renowned experts from industry, research and the fire service. The agenda includes, amongst other things, explosion hazards at incident sites, the safe handling of pyrotechnics, specific considerations for installations at risk of dust explosions, and operational strategies for hazardous materials incidents. Real-life operational examples and in-depth professional discussions ensure that the knowledge gained can be directly applied in practice.
The collaboration between the vfdb Academy and IND EX® creates a unique platform that brings together scientific findings, industrial experience and operational tactical expertise – for greater safety in fire service operations.
