INTERSCHUTZ will be held 01 to 06 Jun 2026 in Hanover, Germany. INTERSCHUTZ is the world’s most renowned exhibition for rescue workers, firefighters and related professionals. INTERSCHUTZ is an unparalleled showcase of the latest equipment and innovative approaches to emergency rescue and the leading exhibition for fire prevention, rescue, disaster relief, safety and security. Fire service professionals will find solutions for every firefighting challenge, from house fires to burning jumbo jets. And disaster relief, rescue, safety and security professionals will discover innovations and ideas for all areas of their work, whether it's responding to natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, safeguarding critical civilian infrastructure, providing roadside first aid, reducing rescue response times or modernizing safety systems. INTERSCHUTZ puts the spotlight on the technologies of tomorrow. INTERSCHUTZ is an event and I like events...
All methods of firefighting rely on starving the fire of one or more of the three things it needs in order to keep going – heat, oxygen and combustible material. In that sense, nothing has changed since the days of Ancient Egypt. What has changed is that modern firefighters are a lot more systematic in the way the go about their job. They don’t just eliminate the immediate danger; they keep a watchful eye on downstream risk and damage as well. Consequently, modern fire call-outs are a lot less spectacular than in the past. That’s because speed is not the only requirement; getting fires under control also calls for careful consideration – a measured approach that may sometimes appear slower and more deliberate, but which gets the job done more effectively.
