Fire brigade Bremen: Voluntary rescue life - now even faster!
Borgfeld, Deutschland - The Bremen fire brigade has big plans to be on site faster in fires and emergencies. The new fire protection requirement plan was currently presented by the interior senator, which focuses on the volunteer fire brigades in Borgfeld and Timmersloh. In the future, these should take on a stronger role in relief to relieve the professional fire brigade and better achieve the legally defined protection goals of the Bremen Aid Act. It is sought that the professional fire brigade arrives at the scene at the latest ten minutes at the latest, a goal that the volunteer fire departments should also support. Weser-Kurier
reported.As part of this initiative, it is checked whether voluntary fire departments can be alerted with the professional fire brigade in particularly urgent cases. This measure harbors the potential to optimize the journey time, since around 95 percent of the missions are covered by eight emergency services in Bremen within ten minutes. In Borgfeld, the new fire and rescue station 7 will also help to further improve the coverage.
investments and challenges
The fire protection requirement plan also has a financial aspect: Significant investments in the fire brigade's fleet are necessary in order to actually achieve the goals set. "We have sufficient resources in Bremen," said fire chief Philipp Heßemer, "but there are concerns that our volunteers could be overloaded to a stronger extent." So far, over 700 active volunteer firefighters have been deployed in Bremen who represent an important support for fire fighting and rescue. fire brigade life emphasizes that there is no uniform assistance in Germany and every federal state has its own regulations.
in Bremen, the auxiliary period is ten minutes for the first incoming unit. This is defined by different periods of time, including the discussion and disposition time and the release time of the emergency services. The legal framework stipulates that this period must be observed in order to be able to provide effective help in an emergency. This legally stipulated auxiliary period represents a central planning and quality feature for the fire brigade, emphasizes wikipedia .
Current condition of the fire guards
As far as the infrastructure is concerned, the fire brigade houses in Bremen are preserved in different ways. The fire station of the Borgfeld volunteer fire brigade, built in 1999, is in good condition, while that in Timmersloh, which dates from 1951, 1977 and 1981, is in a mediocre condition. There are a total of ten fire station across Bremen, which urgently need to be overhauled. The planning for the implementation of all measures from the fire protection requirements plan will be advised in the political committees in the coming months.
Overall, it can be seen that the Bremen fire brigade is well positioned, but further efforts and investments are necessary to ensure the safety of the population. At a time when civil protection is becoming increasingly important, it is essential to use and promote all available resources, says the President of the German Fire Brigade Association.
