112RESCUE offers interaction and instructive workshops

Forward-looking platform for civil protection offers a wide range of options for further training and professionalization

Messe Dortmund is hosting 112RESCUE for the third time from June 26 to 28, 2025. The holistic industry trade fair, which brings together all key areas of public safety and emergency response under one roof, will be accompanied by specialist conferences, symposia and special workshops.

Dortmund, 03.06.2025 – Fire brigades, rescue services, technical relief organizations and other aid organizations protect, extinguish, rescue and recover. Technical vehicle rescue is a particular challenge, where one or more people have to be freed from an accident vehicle with the help of technical equipment. However, the emergency services can also be in danger, e.g. in the event of a fire inside a building, if an emergency arises during breathing protection. 112RESCUE has set up two exclusively bookable workshops from June 26 to 28, 2025 to deepen expertise in these special emergency situations. They teach practical skills and life-saving techniques. Participation requires personal protective equipment, which must be brought along. The proceeds will be donated to a good cause on the last day of the trade fair.
