The Neuhofen fire brigade does a practice drill at JBL

This week we welcomed the Neuhofen volunteer fire brigade to our premises for a practice drill under the codeword "BMA JBL”. 

Upon arriving at the fire alarm system, the triggered detector was quickly identified and the group leaders discussed the further procedure. In the meantime, the first fire-fighting vehicle had already set up the water supply to the distributor and the water supply from the underground hydrant to the vehicle. Our Petfood production manager, Mr. Kupczyk, who was also involved, was able to give further important information to the management: the fire probably broke out during maintenance work and 5 employees of the maintenance company were missing. After the group leaders had made their investigations, the auxiliary fire-fighting group vehicle and the turntable ladder were brought into position at the rear of the building. The attack teams of the two fire engines connected their breathing apparatus at the smoke line and started searching for people. To simulate zero visibility, the masks of the squads were darkened. As soon as the rescue of the 5 persons could be confirmed, the firefighters focused on fighting the fire from the inside and from the outside via the turntable ladder with a turning pipe. 

Fire extinguished, end of exercise. After a quick clean-up, the exercise was discussed in a large group and our Managing Director Stella Kaltenmeier-Böhme took the opportunity to greet the emergency services personnel and thank them for the successful exercise. As the largest industrial company in the municipality, close cooperation with the local emergency services is very important to us.  

Finally, we were able to give the emergency services an insight into our production and storage facilities, so that everyone is familiar with the local conditions in the event of an emergency. 

Many thanks to Mr Frosch from the Neuhofen volunteer fire brigade and our Petfood production manager Mr Kupczyk for planning and successfully carrying out the drill, as well as to all emergency forces for their commitment to our company 24/7.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
