By Cristiano Antonino On Jun 15, 2023

112RESCUE is a new event set up to highlight all aspects of rescue, fire safety and public safety activities

Messe Dortmund invites municipal decision-makers and those with a passion for rescue and fire-fighting to the very first 112RESCUE show between 14 and 17 June 2023

The new forum for the industry and its suppliers will cover all essential aspects of public safety and emergency response at one excellent event.

The new 112RESCUE show between 14 and 17 June will focus on leading-edge technologies, applications and products for use in serious hazard situations

The event in Dortmund will showcase specialist vehicles, equipment options for fire and rescue stations and operations centres as well as medical equipment, measurement equipment, extinguishing hardware and resources, communication and control centre equipment plus a whole range of personal protective equipment.

This new forum is aimed at producers, buyers and practical users in Germany and neighbouring European countries.

Equally, the target audience includes people in local government, municipalities, aid agencies, support services, science and research, vocational education and skills training.

A major convention programme of specialist conferences and symposia plus a varied supporting programme will add even more great content to this new show.

The show’s program can be found on www.112rescue.de/en-gb/programm

112RESCUE, dual patronage

The show’s patrons are two government ministries: the North Rhine Westphalia State Ministry of the Interior and the NRW State Ministry of Labour, Health & Social Affairs.

“The Covid pandemic, the major flood disaster in the summer of 2021, the Ukraine war and other potentially dangerous developments have shown how far-reaching complex crises can become.

One of the tasks of the Ministry of Labour, Health & Social Affairs is to enhance and strengthen both acute and preventive health care, and that includes rescue services and civil defence.

At the new 112RESCUE fire protection, rescue, disaster control and civil defence show, decision-makers and users will find comprehensive, up-to-date information on rescue services, crisis management, health protection and preventive action plans for civil defence emergencies,” said Bernd Schnäbelin, Head of the Department of Rescue & Civil Defence Health Matters at the North Rhine Westphalia Ministry of Labour, Health & Social Affairs, underlining the importance of the informative aspects of the new show.

112RESCUE is set to feature suppliers from all segments presenting their businesses and a wide range of products

These will include SCANIA, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy trucks in Europe and South America, who will be showing numerous fire-fighting and special-purpose vehicles, and Unimog dealer RKF Bleses who will be bringing along special-purpose vehicles such as fire-fighting and disaster control vehicles.

Products will also be on show from Iturri Feuerwehr- und Umwelttechnik which has over 60 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and distributing hazardous goods vehicles, rescue and fire-fighting vehicles, specialist vehicles and decontamination systems.

In the field of medical equipment, full-range supplier Fleischhacker will be presenting medical products from supplies and consumables to sophisticated items of equipment, and S-Gard and others will be exhibiting personal protective equipment including high-end protective clothing for even greater safety in fire-fighting scenarios.

Well-known specialist shoe manufacturer Haix will be showing fire-fighting boots in a variety of designs, and respected dealer Carl Henkel will also be in attendance along with various exhibitors such as Seiz, Schlingmann and Paratech.
