The 2020 ammonium nitrate explosion in Beirut is the largest explosion involving fertilizer in a city center during recent decades. The rescue response mission was both dangerous and complicated - On April 22, hear Chief Stefania Fiore from Italy speak about their CBRN efforts during the immediate aftermath of the blast.
The Italian CBRN response occurred during the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic, which added an extra layer of complexity to the operation Beirut following the August 4th, 2020 explosion. The city was like a war zone and there were serious injuries that needed to be treated urgently among the general population. The CBRN teams had to assume victims were infected with the virus, and special measures had to be in place to not worsen the pandemic during an already extraordinarily challenging situation.
Stefania Fiore is a senior officer in the Italian National Fire and Rescue Service, and in particular she is the National Coordinator of the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) emergency response, working in the Central Directorate for Emergency.
Chief Fiore has a wide experience in national and international emergency management, as the CBRN and USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) team leader.
From 2018 to 2020s she was seconded in European Commission - DG ECHO, as national expert, dealing with the Union Civil Protection Mechanism.
On April 22, Stefania Fiore will be a part of our free online CTIF Seminar "Fire, Rescue and New Challenges", which will focus on the challenges of fire services around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic.
