New collaboration to create state-of-the-art offshore emergency fire training centre near Durham
A brand-new centre to train offshore workers in emergency firefighting is being developed in County Durham thanks to an agreement between the UK’s leading energy trainer, AIS Survivex and Vital Fire Solutions (VFS), the trading arm of County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service (CDDFRS).
This exciting joint venture will see a new 20,000 square foot offshore emergency fire training facility being built at the existing fire service Training Centre at Bowburn, incorporating a three-storey mock offshore platform rig with full size heli-deck, helicopter simulator and internal structures to mirror those on an offshore installation.
