Large-scale exercise by the fire department in Altötting: Bahnhofsstrasse closed!
A large-scale exercise by the Neuötting and Altötting volunteer fire departments will take place in Altötting on October 25, 2025. The exercise will be carried out on Bahnhofsstrasse from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., although the street will be completely closed in the affected area. The fire department announced this in an Instagram post, which also emphasized that there was no danger to the population at any time. During the exercise, smoke, blue lights and increased emergency traffic are to be expected. These measures are necessary in order to optimally prepare the emergency services for emergencies and to strengthen the sense of community within the fire department, as examplefur.com explains.
The exercise focuses on various operations, from technical assistance to firefighting. The firefighters are not only trained in theory, but are also allowed to test their skills in practical situations. A comprehensive scenario is simulated, including practicing evacuations to ensure the safety of citizens.
Traffic delays and road closures
Bahnhofsstraße, especially near the Sparkasse, will be closed during the entire exercise period. Drivers and pedestrians should prepare for obstructions on the road. Parking is also prohibited in this area during the exercise. The Altötting fire department has therefore asked all citizens to park their vehicles somewhere else and to observe the diversions in order to make the work of the emergency services easier.
The regular conduct of such fire drills is not only important for community safety, but also crucial for the operational readiness of the forces. Feedback rounds are held every time to collect suggestions for improvement and promote exchange within the team. In addition, attention is paid to time management and resource planning so that in the event of a real emergency, every minute counts.
The importance of community exercises
Firefighting exercises are an indispensable part of training. They help firefighters improve their skills and strengthen cooperation. The different types of exercises, ranging from practical simulations to theoretical training, create extensive preparation for emergencies. In Altötting, an important signal is now being sent once again that the safety of citizens has the highest priority.
