<strong>Falck</strong> offers industrial companies to handle the<br />

operation and development of their fire services.<br />

Customers for this service include the automobile<br />

industry, petrochemical plants and nuclear plants<br />

<strong>Falck</strong>’s Dutch fire activities primarily focus on providing consulting<br />

and training in fire prevention and handling to both public-<br />

and private-sector customers.<br />

With its acquisition of the British company Resource Protection<br />

International, which has provided high-quality consulting services<br />

to customers in most parts of the world for a number of<br />

years, <strong>Falck</strong> expanded its competencies in the fire area and, with<br />

that, <strong>Falck</strong>’s total product offering now fully meets the demand<br />

on that market.<br />

<strong>Falck</strong> operates fire-fighting services at Sweden’s largest Airport,<br />

Arlanda, and in <strong>2010</strong> also won a contract for fire fighting at the<br />

Såtenäs military airport and the Forsmark nuclear power plant.<br />
