ECA Group supplies an EF-TRUCK Emergency simulator to Mayotte’s Departmental Fire and Rescue Service
Wednesday, May 04 2022
Mayotte’s Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS 976) ensures the protection of the population, provides emergency assistance and prevents technological as well as natural hazards. Its firefighters intervene in emergency conditions and in environments that are often difficult to access. Coupled with the overloaded road network, the number of the unit’s damaged vehicles has increased.

As each intervention is different, ECA Group’s simulator trains and prepares personnel to any emergency driving condition. This unique simulator:
- Excels in the realistic reproduction of the different vehicles used, in terms of both size and dynamic behaviour, providing a lifelike training experience.
- Stands out with its distinctive software, capable of creating a wide variety of scenarios with multiple difficulties.
- Reproduces cooperative, indecisive or hostile three degree modelling, which is unique on the market.
- Reduces training cost and improves driving skills, leading to reduced damaged vehicles and downtime costs.
The delivery of ECA Group’s EF-TRUCK Emergency simulator allows the DFRS 976 to train its firefighters to improve both their efficiency and safety, while preserving its vehicles.
Colonel Olivier Neis, Chief of the Mayotte Departmental Fire Brigade, comments:
The road network in Mayotte is particular and overloaded. We face a growing number of accidents, mainly material, linked on the one hand to negligent manoeuvres and on the other hand to driving difficulties in dense traffic. All DFRS drivers will be evaluated on the simulator to improve their respective driving skills, improving their safety and reducing the number of accidents and vehicle repairs.
