Fire brigades well prepared for floods, says association
Federal Association of Professional Fire Brigades calls for more support from politicians
Heavy rains and thunderstorms have caused flooding in recent days, especially in Bavaria. The fire brigades are well prepared for such emergencies, says the Federal Association of Professional Fire Brigades (BFVB). However, the association is calling for more support from politicians.
The fire brigades in Germany are well prepared for major flooding, as the Verband der Berufsfeuerwehren (BFVB) emphasizes. According to the association, the fire brigades have a wide range of equipment and know-how to deal with such emergencies. In addition, there is close cooperation between the fire brigades, the THW and other emergency services.
Nevertheless, the BFVB sees a need for more support from politicians. For example, the association is calling for more funding for the fire brigades and for the modernization of equipment. In addition, the BFVB is calling for more training for firefighters in dealing with floods.
The fire brigades are an important part of the civil protection system in Germany. They are responsible for extinguishing fires, rescuing people and animals, and providing technical assistance. In the event of a flood, the fire brigades work closely with other emergency services to ensure that people and property are protected as much as possible.
