GORE-TEX Professional Fabrics, VIKING Fire PPE, AAK Safety AS and Cresto Safety recently wrapped up an incredible week of training in Greenland, collaborating with height rescue personnel to test the latest innovations while surrounded by breathtaking glaciers, fjords, and mountains. VIKING Fire PPE delivered the first GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Stretch garments to the Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and Tasiilaq, Greenland to test the functionality with these elastic jackets and trousers. New GORE-TEX Stretch garments enabled them to complete the training free of constraint, increasing the mobility of the rescuer, and making it possible to focus on their tasks. “After 7 intense days, the emergency services have just trained 8 new height and mountain rescuers, from Tasiilaq and Nuuk. We are now even better equipped to help citizens and tourists when an accident occurs.” (Jes Damgaard Andersen, Emergency Manager Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq) The course was both physically and mentally demanding, the Rescue Service is delighted with their Advanced Training, and the advances offered by GORE-TEX garments. The natural beauty of Greenland is nothing short of inspirational, reminding us of the vastness and power of nature. #GORETEX #CROSSTECH #PYRAD #STRETCH #VIKINGFire #FirstResponder #SAR #SearchAndRescue #Innovation #Greenland #Training #SafetyAtHeight
