First use

In general, the initial deployment is the term used to describe the first measures that the rescue services carry out after an emergency.

Subsequent units are no longer assigned to initial deployment and are then included in the replenishment area .

First deployment of the volunteer fire brigade

After almost 13 minutes, the human brain is undersupplied with oxygen , which can lead to considerable damage or, in the worst case, death. That is why the "Working Group of Professional Fire Brigades in Germany" suggests that the fire brigade should reach the scene of action after a maximum of seven minutes' driving time (an additional one minute as deployment time) so that it is still possible to rescue people. The fire protection requirement plans of the municipalities and communities are designed accordingly.

If the full-time workers, mostly members of a professional fire brigade (in larger cities there are full-time fire stations also during main working hours), cannot drive to a location in their area of ​​operation in the required eight minutes (in some regions there are ten), then the closest one will be Volunteer fire brigade alerted during first deployment, d. This means that they are alerted to every operation in their district.

It is particularly common to find volunteer fire brigades in large cities who are first deployed, mainly in the suburbs on the outskirts. Should a deployment from the respective location be received by the control center, the control center computer (i.e. the control center computer) always suggests and alerts the volunteer fire department in addition to the professional fire department. At the place of deployment, the volunteers immediately begin with the initial measures. In order for this to work seamlessly, the personnel have the appropriate training and technical equipment to replace the professional fire brigade. Depending on the situation, the professional fire brigade supports the volunteer fire brigade in their operational activities or can move away and is ready for action again.
