The city of Neuwied has a unique model for its fire brigade, which was developed in 1926 by the then mayor Robert Krups . In order to adequately ensure fire protection for the approximately 65,000 residents in the city of Neuwied, the fire brigade employs ten full-time fire fighters on a day-to-day basis. If necessary, these are supported by 14 trained employees from the neighboring Stadtwerke Neuwied GmbH (SWN), with whom a fire brigade supply contract has been concluded. Outside the SWN business hours, the permanent fire service is on duty. The 28 members of the three guard departments live in residential buildings built especially for them right next to the fire station and receive a monthly allowance for their work .
