On Tuesday evening, November 8, 2022, the Zone Rand fire brigade is organizing a large-scale exercise in collaboration with AED Studios, the Hekla police zone, the medical emergency services and the emergency planning service of the municipality of Lint. The various disciplines are given the opportunity to fine-tune their collaboration and to test the emergency intervention plan of AED Studios in practice.


There will be a lot to do at AED studios Tuesday evening. Due to the size of the complex and the diversity of activities in their field, the potential risks are high. AED Studios was therefore requesting this exercise. “We are pleased to make the facilities of AED Studios available to the fire brigade, police and emergency medical services for this large-scale exercise. It will enable us to test, evaluate and, if necessary, adjust our emergency response plan in practice. Communication is crucial when calamities occur, and we are convinced that this exercise is instructive for all actors involved” explains Glenn Roggeman, CEO of AED Studios.


The scenario: due to a fire at the cooling installation on the roof, smoke enters one of the studios through the ventilation. The building will be evacuated, but not without a fight. For example, there is another actor hidden in his box and on the way out someone trips over a barrel of hydrochloric acid (a product that is used in the swimming pool of the studio). During the crowds that will arise, a VIP visit comes with a limousine and a helicopter wants to land… With a script that could have come straight out of a disaster film, the exercise may seem excessive. However, it is pure reality because any situation that is simulated could actually happen. The fire brigade, police, medical discipline and communication service will have to work together to ensure that everything runs smoothly. That is also the purpose of the large-scale exercise.
