Firing up knowledge for fire-fighters
Major industrial fires and incidents involving hazardous materials often place fire-fighters in the most dangerous situations of their working lives. Yet as such occurrences are rare, many will face these situations for the first time with little foreknowledge of such incidents. RIMSAT aimed to improve the odds in the fire-fighters' favour. view more (2004-11-16)
