@ stephkg: 'firefighter' is a noun. Fwiw, my take is that the slash here denotes a subsection or chapter of the training manual (a look at the nbbe.nl site would appear to confirm...), so:
In het opleidingsboek brandwacht/repressie van de NIBRA wordt onder meer aandacht besteed in de branddriehoek = The NIBRA firefighter training manual also examines the fire triangle in the section on fire suppression --OR-- The fire suppression chapter of the NIBRA firefighter training manual also examines the fire triangle

Note from asker:
| Yes, but if it goes with 'repressie', shouldn't it also be a noun? |
