In the presence of Ali Al-Bairami, Fire Group Manager, the initial operation of the KOC Fire Training Center recently began. The training center is considered to be a major step forward for KOC in terms of fire training, and the new center will do much in the way of preparing firefighters for specific types of fires – particularly those that occur in the oil sector.
The initiative to create the Fire Training Center falls within the framework of KOC’s interest in staying abreast of the latest firefighting methods, especially as Kuwait’s oil industry continues to grow.
The new Fire Training Center is the first of its kind in the world in terms of how it utilizes technology to train firefighters. The latest in high technology simulation systems are utilized at the center to help train firefighters. The center itself can be viewed as a national project in the sense that it will help train firefighters from various state sectors, including other K-Companies, the Kuwait Fire Service Directorate, and the Army and National Guard.
