Once a month we are train for a fire. Each time we try to make different scenarios, and today we combined the training of dressing up smoke-divers, with the use of ships firefighting equipment on helicopter deck. It's vital that the smoke-divers dress up correctly, because in a fire bad clothing will quickly cause burns, or smoke to enter their face-masks. We therefor once in a while take our time to do this properly, paying attention to all details, to make sure that the smoke-divers in a real situation will dress up properly, to best make sure can do their job safely.
After making sure all fire-men were dressed properly we started the fire-pumps to test the water monitors on helicopter-deck. All in all maybe a simple drill, but if a real fire should occur, it's details like proper dressing of the firemen that will eventually determine their effectiveness.
