Tactical exercise checked the IRS units to rescue people from cable car
Only two days left to this planned exercise, when the real rescue intervention was needed. On 2nd November 2021, two days after the unfortunate fall of the cable car cabin leading to the Ještěd Mountain in the Liberec Region, a tactical exercise of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) units of the Hradec Králové Region took place to check their readiness in case of rescue of persons from a damaged chairlift. The exercise was prepared and planned for a long time, and based on the intervention of the IRS units in rescuing people from the Ještěd cable car, it also proved to be very effective. In our conditions, we may encounter several types of cableways that have their own technical specifics, but rescue training is regularly carried out across all rescue services.

IRS Karlovy Vary Conference
The 7th IRS Conference in Karlovy Vary had the central theme “COVID-19”. The scientific committee chose this topic at the end of spring, when everyone believed that it would be a matter of passing on the findings of the already closed chapter. However, the event took place at a time when the epidemiological situation in the Czech Republic is once again speaking out loud and the daily incidence of this disease is still higher. During the meeting, it was possible to hear an evaluation of activities, the need for improvisation and flexibility, as well as suggestions for improving or changing the conditions for the operation of individual IRS units, which significantly contributed to solving the epidemiological situation in the country.
