Joint exercise: THW and police train on the A7 near Hildesheim!
An important exercise recently took place on the northern carriageway of Federal Motorway 7 in the Hildesheim area.

The exercise became necessary because the road was temporarily closed due to renovation work. Around 20 THW volunteers actively helped to train the correct approach in these challenging situations. tixio.de reports that ...

Competent emergency services through training
The THW attaches great importance to the training of its members to ensure that they can act competently in all situations. From the age of 16 you can become part of the THW and complete basic training that teaches important skills for emergencies. The helpers then have numerous in-depth training options available to them in order to respond individually to their interests and processing formulations.
The exercise on the A7 impressively illustrated the achievements and preparation of the volunteers. Only through constant learning and practice can you act quickly and effectively in an emergency. The THW helpers have a good knack for their demanding task, and the cooperation with the police shows the important role that these organizations play in civil protection.
