- Last week I had the privilege of traveling to Singapore. I spent a week at their Civil Defense Academy (SCDA) teaching for a private company I work for. SCDA is their fire and EMS training site. We can learn allot from the Singaporeans in firefighting and Haz Mat.
For example take a look at the following;
http://www.ifex3000.de/en/index.htm
Also take a look at the following information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Civil_Defence
We always hear, think outside of the box. But, we may also want to look outside of the USA box to some of our international brother and sisters.
Stay Safe.
