CRS gives Artem Fire & Rescue Academy the vehicle knowledge to train rescuers for any situation


At Artem Fire & Rescue Academy, which trains firefighters and rescue personnel across Europe, Asia and the Middle East,  CRS has become an indispensable part of every vehicle rescue training programme.

When every second counts, having instant access to the right vehicle data is not an advantage. It is a necessity

Value

CRS has transformed how Artem Fire & Rescue Academy prepares rescue personnel for vehicle incidents. Participants leave training with a reliable method for accessing vehicle-specific information in any real-life situation, reducing the risk to both rescuers and victims.

By building CRS into every training programme, Artem ensures that participants develop both the knowledge and the habit of using accurate data before intervening, a standard of practice that directly improves safety and efficiency in the field.

For electric and hybrid vehicles in particular, CRS has become a critical capability. The rapid growth of EVs on European roads means rescue personnel face new risks with every callout, and CRS provides the up-to-date technical detail needed to respond safely.

Problem

Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly complex. With hundreds of different makes and models on the road, each with unique structural designs, safety systems and high-voltage components, it is impossible for firefighters and rescue personnel to carry detailed knowledge of every vehicle they may encounter at an accident scene.

Artem Fire & Rescue Academy needed a solution that could provide instant, reliable vehicle information as a standard part of their training methodology, one that would reflect the realities of modern rescue work and prepare participants for the vehicles they will actually encounter in the field.

Solution

Since 2017, CRS has been a fixed part of every vehicle rescue training programme at Artem Fire & Rescue Academy.

By entering a vehicle’s licence plate number into CRS on a tablet, rescue personnel gain immediate access to the complete vehicle profile, including structural layout, safety system locations, and critical information for safely handling electric and hybrid vehicles.

Trainers at Artem use CRS to teach participants how to read a vehicle’s anatomy systematically, understanding where components are located, which systems pose risks, and how to approach the rescue safely and efficiently

More about CRS

I couldn’t imagine a day without CRS. There is no other system like this on the market. The connection to the license plate database ensures that you always find the exact vehicle make and model. No other system can do that.
