Safety First – The Magirus Safety Game Contest

Every firefighter is familiar with these scenarios: A roof fire has been successfully fought, but there are further extinguishing-related tasks; there has been a traffic accident on an embankment; a risky mission high off the ground must be undertaken. In such situations, several crew members must be simultaneously protected against falls. This frequently requires creative solutions, because conventional systems quickly reach their limits. This is why we have launched the Magirus Safety Game. You and the others in your brigade can show us how you protect fellow crew-members against falls.

The task

First, build 2 towers, each with 7 beverage crates. They must be at least 2 metres apart from each other. One crew member climbs onto each tower. Then, both crew members must exchange positions without touching the ground. You can choose any type of technical firefighting equipment available to you. The only condition is that both crew members must be secured against falls during the entire exercise. The rest of the crew is there to support them. The task is successfully solved as soon as both crew members have exchanged positions without touching the ground.

 

Permitted Material

  • 14 beverages crates for building 2 towers, each with 7 crates
  • Any and all technical firefighting equipment that you have
