ETC Simulation Awarded Contract to Deliver Disaster Management Simulator to Hong Kong Fire Service
Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division today announced the signing of a contract with the Hong Kong Fire Services Department (HKFSD) to deliver a multi-station ADMS-COMMAND, the next-generation Advanced Disaster Management Simulator training system.
The contract includes three open-ended, dynamic scenarios within a regionalized virtual environment. The scenarios include a multi-vehicle highway traffic accident, a B-747 crash-landed in a residential area and a high-rise apartment building fire. The scenarios can be changed to fit various training objectives. The system will also include regionalized response vehicles. The HKFSD employs a force of over 9,000 firefighters who serve one of the most densely populated urban areas in the world. To be delivered by the end of the year, HKFSD's ADMS system will allow responders to train safely and realistically. ADMS President, Marco van Wijngaarden commented, "We are proud to be working with the Hong Kong Fire Services Department. This order marks the second ADMS system to be purchased by a world-class Asian fire services institution, following the delivery of a large ADMS-COMMAND system to the South Korean National Fire Service Academy last year. ETC looks forward to working with HKFSD for years to come."
