The Neu-Ulm fire brigade refers to the entirety of all fire brigades in the area of ​​the large district town of Neu-Ulm in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia . The fire brigade is organized as a voluntary fire brigade with full-time workers and is divided into the so-called main office , which includes the management and administration of the entire fire brigade and the emergency services of the full-time fire fighters, seven fire engines in the districts, four independent fire brigades and the ABC -Train . The city ​​fire inspector (SBI) is in charge of the overall fire brigade ; his deputy is known as the city ​​fire chief (SBM) . The individual fire- fighting trains are under the supervision of the city fire inspector and are each led by a fire-fighting train driver and his deputy. The management of the four independent fire brigades is instead the responsibility of their own commanders , who are also under the supervision of the city fire inspector.

The Neu-Ulm fire brigade, with its currently 34 full-time and a little over 400 volunteer firefighters, provides defensive and preventive fire protection and technical assistance in the event of accidents and emergencies for around 57,000 residents (as of December 2015) . It is also involved in disaster control in the Neu-Ulm district . On the other hand, the tasks of the Neu-Ulm fire brigade do not include the implementation of the rescue service ( emergency rescue and patient transport ) in the city area. This is taken care of by the local district association of the Bavarian Red Cross (BRK).

Main office

history

In 1868, the establishment of volunteer fire brigades began in Neu-Ulm and the surrounding villages . From the beginning, the fire brigade in Neu-Ulm was organized on a purely voluntary basis. The city administration later hired four full-time equipment operators for the fire brigade. However, only volunteer firefighters continued to deploy on missions.

Against the background of a rapidly growing population, planning began in 1999 for a fire station with permanent full-time staff. This was set up just one year later in a structurally expanded, former tank maintenance hall of the Nelson Barracks, which was operated by the US Army until 1991, south-east of the city center. Since then, the main guard and the administration have their current headquarters at Zeppelinstrasse 6. The number of full-time guard deployed was initially six fire brigade officers, plus one officer for staffing a post-alarm station . As early as 2001, the staff of the Neu-Ulm fire brigade was expanded to 21 full-time employees. In February 2002 the new fire brigade operations center (FEZ) of the district of Neu-Ulm was put into operation in the premises of the main fire station. The FEZ was decommissioned in November 2011 when the fire brigade alarm was taken over by the Danube-Iller Integrated Control Center in Krumbach .

Today (as of April 2017) the Neu-Ulm fire brigade employs 34 full-time employees in administration and on duty.

Subject areas

The management and administration of the entire fire brigade is part of the main office of the Neu-Ulm fire brigade and is organizationally part of Department 6 (personnel, organization, citizen services) of the city administration. The head of the fire brigade is known as the city ​​fire inspector (SBI) and has the position of a department head within the city administration. The current city fire inspector and head of the Neu-Ulm fire department is Andreas Hoffzimmer; his deputy is city fire chief Michael Haitchi.

The administration of the fire brigade, which also includes the workshops, the company petrol station and the clothing store , is divided into the following five subject areas , to which several so-called subject matters are subordinate:

  • Subject 1 - Internal organization and administration
    • Administration in kind
    • Property advice on building services / company filling station
    • Material advice for clothes closet / personal protective equipment
  • Subject 2 - Education and training
  • Subject 3 - Vehicle and device technology
    • Material rate vehicle and equipment workshop
    • Material rate central respiratory protection workshop
    • Material rate central hose workshop
  • Subject 4 - Communication / EDP / Resource Planning
    • Material advice radio and electrical workshop
  • Subject 5 - Preventive fire and hazard protection

This guarantees a full-time minimum deployment strength of a command vehicle , an emergency fire fighting group vehicle and a turntable ladder during the day from Monday to Thursday .
