Future of the fire department: City fire department manager calls for clear requirements planning!
An important meeting was recently held in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler between city fire chief Marcus Mandt, Alfred Förner from the FWG parliamentary group and Pascal Rowald from the CDU parliamentary group. The focus of this exchange was clearly on the future of the fire service, particularly in the area of fire service requirements planning. How View current reported, Mandt reiterated the need for solid requirements planning to ensure the fire department's operational readiness in the long term. This includes not only the provision of sufficient personnel, but also the necessary equipment and infrastructure.
A central point of the discussion was the procurement of replacements for the turntable ladder. The current vehicle has now reached technical and tactical limits, which is particularly worrying those responsible. Förner emphasized how indispensable a modern turntable ladder is for rescuing people and fighting fires in tall buildings. And Rowald also spoke out clearly in favor of supporting necessary replacement purchases. Both groups agree on this: it's about the strategic positioning of the fire brigade, which is essential to protect citizens.
Assessing needs for the fire department makes sense in the long term
But how do you come up with a usable fire service needs plan? According to the website of Lülf Plus Data analysis plays a crucial role. Fire service requirement plans should be updated every five years. It is important to distribute the workload more evenly and to seek professional support to implement the measures.
Looking for support can help with the annual report, which shows relevant developments in the fire department structure and thus enables a timely response to unforeseen events. The advice covers all fire service issues, including the planning of fire brigade locations and the procurement of vehicles.
Results through well-founded analysis
In addition, the experiences of the Preemergency are not valued highly enough in requirements planning. They offer an in-depth analysis of the locations that are important to authorities and organizations with security tasks. Not only the vehicles and their travel times are considered, but also alternative locations for new construction projects and the consolidation of existing locations.
This scenario-based risk assessment not only helps to better assess potential risks, but also to precisely determine the necessary travel times for emergency trips. This is particularly advantageous in urban areas with high traffic volumes to ensure quick response times.
The meeting in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler clearly shows that close cooperation between politics and the fire department is essential to ensure the safety of citizens. With the reforms mentioned and the support from external experts, the fire department in the region could soon be better positioned than ever.
