The annual World Rescue Challenge was held at the ExCel Centre in London from 17 to 20 October 2012, organised by the London Fire Brigade. There was hot competition in the Extrication Challenge between teams from Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Ghana, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
On the 17th September at Surrey FRS HQ in Reigate, the Surrey RTC Teams attempted to create a world record for the "worlds longest roof flap" by carrying out a roof flap on a stretched Hummer Limo......, using Packexe SMASH for the glass management – naturally!

RBFRS training rapid entry using Packexe SMASH
Incipresa, the Packexe SMASH distributor in Spain, is supporting the Spanish National rescue Challenge in Toledo organised by APRAT. Teams taking part in the competition will attend training seminars on the use of the Packexe SMASH emergency glass management system, and Andrew Orchard, CEO of Packexe will give an introductory presentation at the pre-Challenge meeting.
The teams who take part in events of this kind around the world represent the élite of world technical rescue. Previous national and international champions have done much to integrate the use of Packexe SMASH into standard rescue procedures, recognising the major contribution of effective glass management to the safety and speed of vehicle extrication.
Calling all plasterers! How long do you regularly spend at the end of a job – internal plastering or external rendering – scraping plaster splashes off windows?
NAVRA shows off how effective Packexe SMASH is:
If fitted carpets are taken up for interior renovation or decoration, they never go back down as neatly as before. And removal and re-laying take time and cost money. But Packexe Carpet self-adhesive protection film (look for the red printing on the film) creates a strong, leak-proof protective layer, which prevents plaster splashes from coming into contact with householders’ treasured carpets.
