MAJOR BRUNO LAZARIN KOCH

Brazil – Santa Catarina Military Fire Department (CBMSC)

I am 39 years old and have been serving as a military firefighter since 2006 in the Santa Catarina Military Fire Department (CBMSC), Brazil.

Throughout my 20-year career, I have held several operational, instructional, and command positions, including Commander of the Military Firefighters Training Center, where I was responsible for firefighter education and training.

I currently serve as a Major and Deputy Commander of the 11th Military Firefighters Battalion, based in Joaçaba, Santa Catarina. I am also a member of the CBMSC Vehicle Rescue Coordination Committee.

VEHICLE EXTRICATION

I have been a vehicle extrication instructor since 2014 and completed the Rescue Assessor Course organized by ANSD Portugal in 2016. I am also a Holmatro Master Instructor, with international training experience in the United States and the Netherlands.

Since 2016, I have been actively involved in national and international vehicle rescue challenges as an instructor, technical advisor, organizer, and assessor.

I have participated in numerous rescue challenges throughout Brazil, serving as a Technical Assessor, Scenario Developer, and Scenario Builder.

I have coordinated Brazilian rescue teams at seven editions of the World Rescue Challenge:

* Romania – 2017
* South Africa – 2018
* France – 2019
* Luxembourg – 2022
* Spain – 2023
* Portugal – 2024
* Croatia – 2025

I am the creator of RESGATE™, a tabletop simulation system for tactical training, and the author of “Vehicle Rescue Scenarios – A Practical Manual for Instructors, Scenario Developers, and Builders”, published in 2026.

I am also the founder of “RescueCast – Making Spaces, Saving Lives”, a project dedicated to sharing technical knowledge and promoting the development of vehicle extrication.
