Fast equipment for fast responders

Emergency tents

Pop-up gazebos for fire brigades and rescue teams

Operations need solutions that work fast.

For mobile command posts and protected operating areas, fire brigades and rescue organisations need equipment that is quick to set up and easy to handle. Emergency tents made from pop-up gazebos are a suitable solution.

You set them up without tools, the roof has a water column of 1,500 to 2,000 mm, and with Oxford 500D or Oxford 250D FR it is fire-retardant to EN 13501-1 (B-s1, d0).

What do fire brigades use a pop-up gazebo for?

The major advantage of pop up gazebos is that they are extremely versatile and, when combined with different accessories, can be used for a variety of different applications, during emergencies to name just one. Here are some examples of the ways hundreds of emergency teams already use our gazebos:

as a collection and/or distribution point for food, donations and medicines
as a staff room for on-site command and control
as a shelter for evacuees following natural disasters
as a relief point during large events or rallies
as a medical tent for injured people and patients
as a shelter for equipment during large-scale operations
as a promotional stand during trade shows and events
as a shelter during association parties

In short, the team will be able to use the gazebo in different ways almost every day.

Set up without tools

Ready for action quickly

Open the bag, pull the frame apart, lock the legs into place and secure it. No tools needed. How many people you need depends on the size.

Safe and well thought out

Sidewalls for your emergency tent

Patients and the injured need to be cared for in a protected, calm and discreet environment. The sidewalls are quick to fit and can be fully closed at the sides with zips.

With the 4-in-1 system you choose the right version for each sidewall:

fully closed
open roll-up door
transparent PVC window
mosquito net

Together with the tent floor, the sidewalls screen off the interior. A PVC reinforcement at the bottom makes them more robust and easier to clean.

Crew tent for fire brigades

Whether for coordination during major incidents or as an area at youth fire brigade competitions: a crew tent needs to be quickly available, flexible and easy to transport. The 8x4 m or 6x4 m pop-up gazebos fit the bill and have a compact pack size despite their size.

With sidewalls, the pop-up gazebo becomes a crew tent. Need more space? Connect several pop-up gazebos without tools using the modular system.

Good to know

Inflatable emergency tents

Inflatable emergency tents are an interesting solution for many operations. Many fire brigades still rely on the classic emergency tent because it is easy to handle, has a compact pack size and can be used flexibly even where space is tight.

If you are looking for an inflatable alternative, take a look at the rapid deployment tents from Aerise, another brand of the Zingerle Group.

Frequently asked questions about emergency tents

Everything you need to know about the construction, materials, printing and accessories of Ecotent emergency tents.

Are Ecotent pop-up gazebos fire-retardant?

It depends on the fabric

Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D FR are fire-retardant to EN 13501-1 (B-s1, d0, certificate). Oxford 250D is also available without this classification (Non-FR). The Recycled fabric is not fire-retardant.

How do you set up a pop-up gazebo?

Set up without tools

You set up an Ecotent pop-up gazebo without tools: pull the frame apart, fit the roof, lock the legs into place and secure the gazebo. How many people you need depends on the size. The video shows a 3x3 m pop-up gazebo from the E1 series being set up step by step.

Is an Ecotent pop-up gazebo waterproof?

Water column of 1,500 to 2,000 mm

Yes, the roof keeps the rain out. Depending on the fabric, the water column is 1,500 mm (Oxford 500D) or 2,000 mm (Oxford 250D and Recycled), tested to DIN EN 20811 (proof: Oxford 500D, Oxford 250D, Recycled). To stay watertight, the roof needs to be taut and undamaged. Find out more about waterproof gazebos in our knowledge area.

Knowledge area

Why are Ecotent pop-up gazebos made of aluminium?

There are several advantages

All three Ecotent series use an aluminium frame. Aluminium has a lower density than steel, making the gazebo easier to handle and transport. At the same time, it offers strong resistance to corrosion.

Aluminium vs steel

Which parts of a pop-up gazebo can be printed?

Roof and sidewalls

You can print the entire roof and both sides of the sidewalls, inside and outside.

All about printing and customisation

How many people are needed to set it up?

One or two people

One person is usually enough for pop-up gazebos up to 3x3 m. For larger models we recommend two people so that set-up is quicker and easier. All pop-up gazebos can be set up alone, but larger models take a little longer.
