On the last Friday in August, the exercise was evaluated in the presence of representatives of the hospital and the Central Bohemian Fire Brigade from the Beroun station. With emphasis on its main objective - finding all "weak points" and preparing and implementing their correction. So that if something really happened in the Beroun hospital, but not only there, but also in other buildings of medical facilities, the firefighters' interventions would be as fast and effective as possible and all the hospital staff would know exactly how to act in case of a real emergency.
The topic of the tactical exercise on 8 August at the hospital in Beroun was the liquidation of a fire on the third floor of the Rehabilitation Centre and the related rescue and evacuation of people. A fire caused by a short circuit on a refrigerator in the kitchen was simulated. The area was smoked, firefighters carried out in breathing equipment both the development of a single attack current to the burning premises and a survey of the building using a thermal imaging camera, and simultaneously initiated in cooperation with the hospital staff the rescue of endangered patients - in this case, the dummies. After the simulated fire was extinguished, the area was ventilated using an electric positive pressure ventilator. In addition to a number of cars and other equipment, an automotive ladder was on display at the terrace of the Rehabilitation Centre, on which the transport of an immobile person was practised.
The tactical exercise was attended by units of the Central Bohemian Region Fire Brigade from the stations Beroun and Hořovice together with units of the Volunteer Fire Brigade from Králův Dvůr, Hýskov, Loděnice, Tetín, Zdice, Vysoké Újezd, Litná and Chyňava.
