A new modular route will soon be installed using an FTF crane (Francois Thiry Fontoy, trademark registered in 1957), after painting in Verny, on the Academos site. With a surface area of 48 m², it has serious advantages, in particular its modularity. It will allow all levels of firefighters, from young firefighters to all operational, volunteer and professional firefighters, to benefit from a training tool for wearing self-contained breathing apparatus.
Firefighters from operational units in Metz and Thionville worked on this motivating project. After consultation, the public contract was awarded to the company Thiry, which has just celebrated its 90th anniversary. The imaginative spirit of this company gave a great impetus to the realization.
The agreement between the two parties is for the time being fruitful: on the one hand François Thiry, the father and his sons Claude and Pierre, co-managers and the services of the Compagnie d’Instruction des Sapeurs-Pompiers de la Moselle, who have invested in carrying out and finalizing this project. Examined on all its seams, this set will be adapted to operational needs.

Several levels of difficulty
This course presents several levels of difficulty: at the simplest stage, a course adapted to get used to the respiratory system, then at the more advanced stage, a course, in the dark, with noises, smoke, and actions incidents or rescue.
“The objective is to make the tool available to the 4,500 firefighters and 1,000 young firefighters in the Moselle, without distinction of rank or status (volunteer or professional)” recalls Staff Sergeant Marc Wilhelm.
For his part, Captain Jean-Claude Pitz insists on the advanced functions of this structure with self-rescue techniques, which allow firefighters in difficulty in intervention to implement techniques allowing them to extract themselves from this difficulty.
