The Ulm Fire Department is the municipal fire department of the city of Ulm . Although the Baden-Wuerttemberg Fire Brigade Act basically stipulates a professional fire brigade for communities with more than 100,000 inhabitants , Ulm, with its around 120,000 inhabitants (as of December 2014), has no professional fire brigade due to an exemption from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior . Instead, the Ulm fire brigade currently employs 64 full-time fire brigade members who form the fire brigade officers department and manned the main fire station around the clock in two guard departments. There are also 15 departments of the volunteer fire brigade (FF departments), 13 groups ofYouth fire brigade as well as the marching band and a height rescue group .

The management and administration of the entire fire brigade is the responsibility of the fire brigade and disaster control department of the city of Ulm, whose head of department is also the fire brigade commander .

history

Foundation and first years

Conrad Dietrich Magirus (approx. 1880)

In 1847, the Ulm gymnastics supervisor , Conrad Dietrich Magirus, founded a climbing train together with 32 gymnasts , which was commissioned by the city of Ulm to operate the fire engine 4. This marked the beginning of the transformation of the compulsory fire brigade, which was already in existence at the time and was outdated in its organization, into a voluntary fire brigade. On September 5, 1852, the city administration decided to fundamentally restructure the fire brigade according to the statutes drawn up by Magirus. A year later, Conrad Dietrich Magirus was appointed first commander of the still young volunteer fire brigade.

On June 19, 1853, Magirus invited the board members of the Württemberg fire brigades to a meeting in Plochingen. The commanders of the fire brigades Ellwangen , Esslingen , Göppingen , Heilbronn , Kirchheim unter Teck , Reutlingen , Schorndorf , Stuttgart , Tübingen and Ulm participated in the meeting on July 10th . This meeting of the ten fire brigade commanders led to the establishment of the German Fire Brigade Association , today's umbrella organization of the interest groups of German fire brigades. On September 3, 1854, the first German fire brigade day took place in Ulm. In 1861 a permanently manned night watch with a strength of eight men was set up in Ulm City Hall .

Magirus, who in the many years of his work in Ulm had advanced to become a worldwide pioneer of fire fighting technology - among other things through the establishment of the fire brigade props factory CD Magirus (1866), today Magirus GmbH , and through the publication of his standard work The fire extinguishing system in all his parts (sic!) (1877) - resigned as fire brigade commander in 1880 and handed over his office to the Ulm pharmacist Karl Wacker , who also endeavored to research the improvement of drinking water conditions and the food sector in the city.

Early 20th century

At the beginning of the 20th century, the city administration approved the construction and commissioning of a fire alarm system. This made it necessary to convert the previous Steiger company into a so-called alarm clock line, to equip it and to train accordingly. The train received three horse-drawn equipment built by Magirus:

  • Team van with small equipment, rescue hose and jumping sheet
  • mechanical turntable ladder with a height of up to 18 meters
  • Motorized sprayer with a delivery rate of 750 l / min
Former fire station on the east of Münsterplatz (Schuhhaus). The former vehicle gates on the ground floor can still be seen.

In 1901 the fire alarm system was put into operation. The bells of the Ulm Minster , which until then were partially used to alert the fire brigade, have only been used as a means of alerting during large fires. Three years later, in 1904, the fire brigade moved to the Schuhhaus on the eastern side of Münsterplatz at the corner of Kramgasse.

First World War and motorization

Because of the military service in the Reichsheer during the First World War , large gaps arose in the personnel of the Ulm fire brigade. In some cases, firefighters who were already out of service jumped in; nevertheless the strength of the alarm clock lines sank to eleven men.

In the post-war period, the Ulm fire brigade began to gradually motorize. In 1920, Magirus purchased a car fuel pump, and in 1922 the turntable ladder, which had previously been pulled by horses, was mounted on a chassis. In addition, the alarm systems were expanded and another alarm clock line was set up in Söflingen .

National Socialism and World War II

Weinhof with the synagogue (center) before its destruction on the Night of the Reichspogrom (before 1927)

On the night of November 9th to 10th 1938, the Reichspogromnacht or Reichskristallnacht , SA men presumably set fire in the Ulm synagogue at the Weinhof. The fire brigade was alerted at 3:55 a.m. When the first fire brigade from the fire station arrived in Kramgasse am Weinhof, the synagogue was already on fire. Since the high flames posed the risk that the fire could have spread to a neighboring building with an inn, twelve apartments and a paint and varnish warehouse, the fire brigade launched an extinguishing attack and called in another fire brigade at 4:08 a.m. The fire was extinguished at around 5:20 a.m. Despite the comparatively minor damage to the synagogue, it was demolished a little later on the instructions of the city administration.

In 1939 the entire fire extinguishing system in the German Reich was standardized by the Reich Fire Extinguishing Act of November 23, 1938; The fire brigades that had previously existed in the larger cities and municipalities were converted into the so-called fire protection police as a state body of the police and received a paramilitary organizational structure in the course of the synchronization by the Nazi regime .

Due to Ulm's importance as a large southern German garrison town, the Ulm barracks, industrial and railway facilities and the historic city center were victims of numerous bomb attacks during the Second World War . During the most momentous attack on December 17, 1944, between 7:23 p.m. and 7:50 p.m., 300 British bombers dropped around 600 tons of high explosive and 700 tons of incendiary bombs on the city. Fires blazed throughout the city center, which combined into a large fire of around one square kilometer and destroyed over 80% of the historic old town. The later commander of the Ulm fire brigade, Karl Hollerbach, described his impressions of the night as follows:

“[...] from up here I saw a ghostly sight. The city was burning at every nook and cranny, clouds of intoxication rose high into the sky, in strange colors [...] "

- Karl Hollerbach, later commander of the Ulm fire brigade

post war period

After the end of the Second World War and the occupation of the city by the US Army, the Ulm fire-fighting system was initially placed under the American military administration. Between 1945 and 1951, a fire brigade with full-time staff was started, whereupon the Ulm fire brigade regained its independence. The first emergency vehicles were given to the re-established fire department by the American military administration.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the German Fire Brigade Association and in the presence of the then Federal President Theodor Heuss, the 22nd German Fire Brigade Day took place in Ulm from 29 to 31 May 1953 .

New fire station on Keplerstrasse and the first rescue spreader in Europe

On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Ulm fire brigade, the first groundbreaking ceremony for the new main fire station in Keplerstrasse took place on July 8, 1972 by Mayor Theodor Pfizer . The new fire station was supposed to replace the one in the shoe store on Kramgasse, which was badly damaged during the Second World War.

A year later, in May 1973, the Ulm fire brigade put the first hydraulically operated rescue spreader into service in Europe. It was housed in a Schnell-Rettungs-Vehicle (SRF) on a Ford Transit basis and served to gently free people trapped in vehicles. On August 29, 1974, the spreader was flown for the first time with the SAR 75 rescue helicopter stationed at the Bundeswehr Hospital in Ulm to a serious traffic accident. In order to be able to cope better with such operations afterwards, a portable unit for the spreader with a combustion engine was specially designed, which could be loaded into the rescue helicopter. This helicopter rescue set was available from September 1974 and was used a total of 136 times until the widespread introduction of hydraulic rescue sets in 1986. It is on display today in the main fire station lobby.

Development until today

In the years 1971 to 1975, in the course of the regional reform, the previously independent communities of Donaustetten , Eggingen, Einsingen, Ermingen , Gögglingen , Jungingen , Lehr , Mähringen and Unterweiler were incorporated into Ulm, adding further emergency departments of the volunteer fire department to the Ulm fire department. On October 18, 1975, the newly built main fire station in Keplerstrasse was ready to move into. Since then, it has housed the full-time staff of the Ulm fire brigade - the fire brigade officers department - as well as the downtown department of the volunteer fire brigade.

In 2001 the control center of the fire brigade and the control center of the rescue service were merged into the Integrated Control Center Ulm ( ILS Ulm ) and housed in newly equipped rooms in the main fire station. Since then, all operations of the fire brigade, emergency rescue, ambulance transport and disaster control in the city of Ulm and in the Alb-Danube district have been coordinated from here. The control center is operated jointly by the Ulm fire brigade, the German Red Cross and the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund and is manned by a fire brigade dispatcher and three ambulance dispatchers during the day on weekdays . Annually, the employees of ILS Ulm take over 200,000 calls, which result in around 84,000 rescue services and ambulance transports and 3,300 fire brigade operations (as of 2015).

Fire Department Officer

The 64 employees in the fire department department make up the full-time part of the Ulm fire department. The full-time staff of the Ulm fire brigade are integrated into the careers of the middle, upper and higher technical fire service in accordance with the civil service regulations, but the Ulm fire brigade is not a professional fire brigade. The employees of the fire department are responsible for the duty in the permanently manned main fire station in the Keplerstrasse as well as in the administrative departments, in the control center and in the workshops (e.g. hose and respiratory protection workshop).

Management and administration

Within the Ulm city administration, the fire brigade and disaster control department is responsible for the management, organization and administration of the entire fire brigade , which is assigned to the urban development, construction and environment department. The head of the department is also the highest-ranking officer and commander of the Ulm fire brigade. Since 1998, Chief Fire Director Hansjörg Prinzing has been Head of the Fire Brigade and Disaster Protection Department and Fire Brigade Commander; his deputy is chief fire officer Reiner Schlumberger.

The fire brigade and disaster control department , the municipal administration of the Ulm fire brigade, is divided into five subject areas:

  • Subject FW 1 - Administration and Controlling
  • Subject FW 2 - Preventive fire and hazard protection
  • Subject FW 3 - deployment and organization, training, control center
  • Subject FW 4 - Technology
  • Subject FW 5 - Civil and Disaster Protection

Main fire station

Inner courtyard of the main fire station in Keplerstrasse

The main fire station is the guard of the Ulm fire brigade manned around the clock by the two full-time guard departments of the fire department. It is located at the intersection of Karlstrasse / Keplerstrasse in the Stadtmitte district. The main fire station houses an extensive fleet of around 20 vehicles, including a fire engine consisting of

as well as an arming train consisting of

In addition, various individual vehicles are stationed at the main fire station, which are manned as required by the guard on duty in a jumper function or by additionally alerted volunteers from the fire department's inner city department , including:

Integrated control center

The integrated control center Ulm (spelling: ils ulm ) is the rescue and fire control center for the city ​​of Ulm and the Alb-Danube district operated jointly by the fire brigade, the German Red Cross and the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund . It is responsible for accepting emergency calls, alerting and managing operations during operations by the Ulm fire brigade, the 55 municipal fire brigades in the Alb-Danube district, the rescue service , the aid organizations, the technical relief organization and disaster control.

The fire brigade part of the control center belongs to subject area FW 3 of the fire brigade administration. At least one control center (ELP) is manned around the clock by an officer of the fire brigade. Depending on the time and day of the week, there are also one to three dispatchers for the rescue service. In the event of a high density of operations, major disasters or extraordinary natural events, the control center staff can be reinforced by another employee from the security department on duty or by a background service.

Operations management service

The Ulm fire brigade distinguishes between four different command services , which, depending on the situation, take on the task of managing operations . These are referred to as A, B, C and D service and can be recognized at the point of use by their colored identification vests. Contrary to the usual designation of command services in many professional fire departments, the A service is not the highest management level at the Ulm fire brigade, but the D service. The reason for this is that the nomenclature of the management services at the Ulm fire brigade is based on the management levels according to the fire brigade service regulation (FwDV) 100 “Management and management in action” .

A service

The A-Dienst is the guard shift leader of the on -duty guard department and vehicle driver on the HLF (for fire operations) or the VRW (for THL operations ). According to the requirements of the FwDV 100, he leads operations up to a strength of two groups and is marked with a blue vest with the inscription "WSF" at the operation site .

B service

The function of the B service is occupied around the clock by an officer of the senior fire service. He is alerted for all operations from a train strength and usually takes over the operations management if up to two trains are active at a deployment site. The B-Dienst moves out of the main fire station with a command vehicle and is marked with a green vest with the inscription "B-Dienst" on the scene.

C service

The C-Dienst is an officer of the higher or higher fire brigade service and according to FwDV 100, together with the so-called command group on the command vehicle 2 (ELW 2), can lead operations in the strength of a unit. He is therefore alerted in the event of particularly large or complex emergency situations or at the latest from three trains at an emergency location. The C-Dienst moves out of the main fire station during the day and from the on-call duty at night and wears a yellow vest with the inscription “Einsatzleiter” at the scene .

D service

The D-Dienst is the highest management level in the Ulm Fire Brigade. As a rule, this is no longer used directly at the site of the damage, but instead acts as the head of the management staff in accordance with FwDV 100 in the event of major incidents and disaster operations, who orders all operational and tactical measures for managing the operation and the cooperation of everyone at the incident site working forces coordinated. The D-Dienst is usually the head of the fire brigade ( fire brigade commander ) himself or a representative.

Special units

The special units of the Ulm fire brigade are also stationed at the main fire station. These are made up of fire brigade officers and members of the FF departments who have completed further training in addition to their work in fire protection and technical assistance. The special units are dealt with at this point, even though they are made up of full-time and volunteer firefighters.

Height rescue group

The height rescue group of the Ulm fire brigade was founded in 1996 by the then deputy commander Hansjörg Prinzing and today consists of around 25 trained height rescue workers. The main task of the group is the rescue of people and the recovery of objects from heights and depths as well as from impassable terrain. As an emergency vehicle, the height rescue group has a height rescue equipment vehicle that is stationed at the main fire station in Keplerstrasse. The height rescue group consists of members of the Ulm fire brigade who, in addition to their actual work in the fire department or the volunteer fire service departments, have acquired the qualification as height rescuers through special training and regular exercises.

Water rescue train

The tasks of the water rescue train include immediate operations to rescue people and animals from bodies of water, searching for people, recovering property and providing assistance in the event of flood operations. The water rescue train is stationed at the main fire station and includes by default

The specialty of the water rescue train of the Ulm fire brigade is that the fire brigade itself has no lifeguards or emergency divers. The procedure for an immediate deployment on the Danube therefore provides that the special rescue equipment vehicle does not go directly to the scene of the incident, but rather the slipway near the Danube Stadium and, together with the crew of the rescue vehicle, launches the lifeboat there. The water rescue equipment trolley first drives to the point where the emergency was reported without a diver. From the bank, the emergency services can either swim directly to the person in the water or approach them with a smaller rubber dinghy, which is carried in the stern of the GW-W. The DLRG divers get to the deployment site in some other way (with the organization's own vehicles or privately) and equip themselves with the equipment carried on the GW-W.

With this procedure, namely the immediate launching of the lifeboat into the Danube and the simultaneous direct approach to the deployment site with the GW-W, the fire brigade's forces are in most cases before the rescue teams of the DLRG are at the deployment sites in the Ulm city area and a rescue can take place , despite the lack of a separate diving group, can be initiated with very little delay.

Mobile hazardous goods disposal system (MOGES)

The Mobile Hazardous Goods Disposal System (MOGES) is a tanker truck for the removal of various liquid hazardous substances . In the tractor based on a IVECO Stralis AS 440 S 48 TZ / P is a vacuum-suction and pressure system with an activated carbon filter installed. Using this system, dangerous goods liquids can be quickly pumped out and transferred, e.g. B. in the 25,000 liter semi-trailer. If necessary, the trailer can also be filled with water in order to be able to set up a fire extinguishing water supply for shuttle traffic. The MOGES is housed in the main fire station.

Volunteer firefighter

The urban area is divided into 13 guard districts. A volunteer fire brigade ( FF department ) is responsible for each of these districts . Depending on the location, requirements and time, the operations are handled by the full-time staffed main fire station alone or with the support of the volunteer FF departments or - especially in the case of smaller operations in the outer parts of the city - also by the FF departments alone. In addition to the locally responsible departments, there are two other operational departments within the volunteer fire brigade without their own guard district: the ABC train (department 15) and the rescue dog squadron (department 16).

The emergency departments of the volunteer fire brigade are particularly important when it comes to averting danger in the event of large-scale and dangerous goods deployments, as they are in some cases assigned to disaster control units and other special vehicles, for example the dangerous goods train , the NBC train , the command group of the Ulm fire brigade or the roll-off container Water pumping for pumping extinguishing water over long distances. In addition, the members of the volunteer fire brigade regularly strengthen the full-time crew of the main fire station on Sundays and public holidays as part of a guard duty and carry out security guards at events.

A total of around 500 men and women volunteer in the 15 active deployment departments of the volunteer fire brigade.

FF Department 1 - inner city

The inner city department, like the fire brigade officers department, is also located at the main fire station at Keplerstraße 38 in the city center district. In particular, the department has the task of re-staffing the bared guard when the full-time fire brigade is alerted or, if requested, to move out with additional vehicles that cannot be manned by the guard on duty.

FF Department 2 - Söflingen

The second FF department in the western district of Söflingen goes back historically to the so-called Feuerrotten , which existed as early as 1808, around 40 years before the later Ulm fire brigade was founded. In 1863, by resolution of the municipal council of the then still independent municipality of Söflingen, a compulsory military fire brigade was set up in the form of a company with five platoons and over 250 men. With the incorporation of Söflingen into the city of Ulm, the Söflingen compulsory fire brigade was restructured into a voluntary fire brigade and incorporated into the Ulm fire brigade as the 4th company.

Today, after the main fire station, the Söflingen department is providing the second inner-city fire engine. The disengagement area of ​​FF Department 2 essentially includes the areas of the city of Ulm west of Bundesstraße 10 . These include the perimeter block development in the Weststadt district, the historic center around the Söflingen monastery , the residential areas on the Kuhberg, the Roten Berg, the Galgenberg, the Eselsberg and the Lindenhöhe, the Lehrer Tal, the industrial area along the Blaubeurer Straße and the marshalling yard. In total, around 50,000 people live in the guard area of ​​the Söflingen fire brigade.

In the fire station at Einsteinstrasse 79, which was occupied in 1994 , the active operations department has a total of four vehicles and a trailer at their disposal:

FF Department 3 - Wiblingen

FF Department 3 provides the third inner-city fire engine and is primarily responsible for the south-western district of Wiblingen . In addition to the historic town center around the Wiblingen Monastery with mostly loose single-family houses, the department's release area also includes the large blocks of flats in Neu-Wiblingen, which were built as social housing in the 1970s and 1980s, and the Ulm-Donautal industrial area.

The fire station of the Wiblingen department is located on Stergweg 3 on the outskirts and offers space for four vehicles:

FF Department 4 - Grimmelfingen

Department 4 of the Ulm fire brigade is located in the Grimmelfingen district . In addition to being responsible for the rather small district with around 1,000 inhabitants, the operations department is also deploying on the federal highway 311 , which runs south of Grimmelfingen, and in the Ulm-Donautal industrial area.

The fire station of the Grimmelfingen department is located at Eisenbahnstraße 17 and houses the department's two emergency vehicles:

FF Department 5 - Jungingen

FF Department 5 is located in the Jungingen district of around 3,200 inhabitants north of the Ulm core city. It was founded in 1886/87 as a compulsory fire brigade of the then independent community of Jungingen, and when it was incorporated in 1971 as fire engine 5, it was integrated into the Ulm fire brigade.

In addition to the village, which is almost exclusively characterized by residential development, the detachment area of ​​the department also includes the Autobahn 8 , which runs north past Jungingen, with the Ulm-West junction, the Ulm-Geislingen railway north-east of the district, the Franzenhauserweg , Buchbrunnenweg and Hörvelsinger industrial areas Weg in the south as well as the commercial area Ulm-Nord with container station and container depot.

The FF division has 54 active comrades. As a special feature, there is also a so-called “2. Zug ” with a crew of eight. This forms the link between the active deployment department and the age department, only accepts members with at least 25 years of service and is only alerted during the day or in the event of major incidents if further action forces are required in addition to the active department.

Three emergency vehicles are housed in the fire station of Department 5 in Albstraße 7:

FF department 6 - teaching

The Lehr volunteer fire brigade , from which today's Department 6 of the Ulm fire brigade emerged, was founded in 1888. Because in addition to the district teaching the numerous industrial and research building in the Science Park and the campus of the University in the city of science belong to Ausrückbereich the department in teaching which is carrying hazardous materials the fire Ulm stationed.

There are four emergency vehicles in the fire station in Stöcklenstrasse 12:

In addition to the active train, department 6 in teaching also includes the minstrel train of the Ulm fire brigade. From the group put together at short notice for a wedding in 1956, a musical train that is valued beyond the city limits developed over the years. At the national competition of fire brigade music in 2005, the train won a gold medal and the title of German runner-up in the fire brigade's marches .

FF Department 7 - Mähringen

Department 7 is primarily designed as a district fire brigade for the rural-agricultural district of Mähringen , which has around 1,300 inhabitants . If necessary, it can also be used to support the neighboring Department 6 in Lehr or in the Science City.

The department has two emergency vehicles that are stationed in the fire station at Kiesentalstrasse 5:

FF Department 9 - Ermingen

The Department 9 of the fire brigade Ulm is for on the Hochsträß located, 1,100 inhabitants large district Ermingen responsible. In the course of the new construction of the fire station at Waldstrasse 15, the previous department 8 in Harthausen was dissolved as an independent operations department on January 1, 2016 and incorporated into the Ermingen department. The consecutive numbering of the departments, which was valid until then, was retained, which is why department 8 is missing in the organizational structure of the Ulm Volunteer Fire Brigade.

The new fire station, which was inaugurated in June 2016, offers space for the department's three emergency vehicles:

FF Department 10 - Eggingen

Department 10 is the local fire brigade of Eggingen, which was incorporated into Ulm in 1974 and now has around 1,300 inhabitants. Until 2012, the Egginger Wehr was the last operational department outside the city center that still had its own turntable ladder - a DL 18 without a rescue cage. Today the department still has two emergency vehicles that are stored in the fire station at Dorfstrasse 10:

FF Department 11 - Einingen

Department 11 in the south-western district of Einsingen has a total of 34 active members. In addition to ensuring fire protection and technical assistance in its own district, work in the Ulm-Donautal industrial park and on the adjacent federal highway 311 is also required .

The vehicle hall of the fire station in Egginger Straße 6/1 has two parking spaces on which the two vehicles of the department are parked:

FF Department 12 - Donaustetten

Department 12 is primarily responsible for fire and THL operations in the area of ​​Donaustetten, the southern part of the Gögglingen-Donaustetten district merged in 1989 . In addition, the department has special tasks in pumping extinguishing water over long distances, as the roll-off container for water pumping from the Ulm fire brigade is stationed in Donaustetten . The roll-off container does not come from the state procurement for the civil protection of Baden-Württemberg , where the state stationed six identical roll-off containers Holland Fire System and Karlsruhe , Mannheim , Freiburg , Heilbronn , Konstanz and Stuttgart in 2010 . The Ulm roll-off container was previously used by the Mannheim professional fire brigade and was handed over to the Ulm fire brigade after the state procurement. In the Donaustetten department, however, only the roll-off container itself is housed; the transport to the deployment site must be carried out by the swap truck of the main fire station or department 15.

The fire station of the Donaustetten department is located at St.-Florian-Weg 10 and offers space for two emergency vehicles and a roll-off container:

FF Department 13 - Gögglingen

Department 13 of the Ulm fire brigade primarily covers the northern part of the Gögglingen-Donaustetten district . The department's two emergency vehicles are housed in the fire station at Bertholdstrasse 13 in Gögglingen:

FF Department 14 - Unterweiler

30 members are active in Department 14 in Unterweiler. The area of ​​operation of the department mainly extends to the suburbs of Unterweiler as well as to support to the area of ​​department 3 in Wiblingen . The guard district is mainly characterized by residential developments. It also includes several agricultural properties and a smaller industrial area on the outskirts of Unterweiler.

The department's fire station at Greutstraße 12 was occupied in 1971 and houses the two emergency vehicles of the Unterweiler department:

FF department 15 - ABC train

ABC reconnaissance vehicle and command vehicle 2 of the Ulm fire brigade
Decon truck P of the Ulm fire brigade
The AB-Dekon-V of Civil Protection Baden-Württemberg stationed at Department 15

Department 15 provides the ABC train of the Ulm fire brigade, which is stationed in the disaster control center of the city of Ulm in the Ulm-Donautal industrial area, Graf-Arco-Straße 18/1. The NBC train has the task of supporting the regular fire brigade forces in operations with hazardous substances and measuring operations, determining the dangers posed by atomic, biological and chemical substances and decontaminating people. The staff of the NBC train is generated from the other FF departments of the Ulm fire brigade, i. H. every member of the ABC platoon is also a regular member of another active department.

The ABC train includes:

AB Decon-V is one of seven by the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg for the Civil Protection units procured and distributed on seven sites of this kind. On the roll-off material for the construction and operation of a decontamination site located on (planning) ten and around 40 ambulatory patients are loaded per hour. The corresponding state concept “Dekon-V 50 Baden-Württemberg” provides for the personnel requirement of 40 fire brigade members for the decontamination area for the injured, who are supported by 17 members of the medical service from one emergency unit .

The management group (FüGr) of the Ulm fire brigade is also part of Department 15 . Its main task is to support the chief of operations during larger operations. The group, which - like the ABC train - is made up of members of various FF departments, is alerted, as a rule, when at least two trains are active at a deployment site and therefore more management, coordination and documentation tasks are to be performed than in everyday routine use (e.g. respiratory protection monitoring , communication with higher, secondary and subordinate management positions, operational documentation, etc.). Among other things, the tasks of the management group include keeping a force and vehicle overview as well as a situation map and a radio plan, briefing subsequent workers and handling radio communications at the deployment site and between the on-site operations management and the control center. Furthermore, the location of the management group serves as a contact point for managers of other organizations and authorities involved in the operation (e.g. emergency services , police, etc.). As emergency vehicle is the leading group of fire-Ulm a command vehicle 2 (ELW 2) VW Crafter base (Year: 2009), which is housed along with the ABC-train in emergency center Ulm-Donautal and accordingly the radio call "Florian Ulm 15 / 12 “ leads.

FF department 16 - rescue dog squadron

The BRH Rescue Dog Squadron Ulm eV is assigned as FF Department 16 of the Ulm Fire Brigade. Since 1975, the relay in the Ulm Danube Valley, one of the four founding teams of the Federal Rescue Dog Association (BRH) , has been training rescue dogs to search for missing and buried persons. The training of the emergency services and dogs takes place in accordance with the requirements for the authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS) , the disaster control service regulation 100 "Management and management in action" as well as the requirements for rescue dog teams and rescue dog organizations defined in DIN 13050.

The relay trains rescue dogs in the following areas:

The squadron has the following vehicles available:

  • a rescue dog tracking system (GW-RHOT) as a guide vehicle , year of construction: unknown
  • an equipment vehicle rescue dog tracking technology (GW-RHOT) as a team transport vehicle , year of construction: unknown
  • a rescue dog tracking equipment vehicle (GW-RHOT) as a team transport vehicle (vehicle for civil protection in Baden-Württemberg), year of construction: unknown

The squadron is a member of the state working group rescue dogs Baden-Württemberg (LAGRH-BW) , which facilitates the cooperation of the rescue dog-handling BOS organizations in Baden-Württemberg and provides a common roof.

Youth fire brigade

The Ulm fire brigade maintains 13 youth fire brigade groups in which 158 young people are involved (as of May 2018). In the youth fire brigade, interested boys and girls should be introduced to the tasks of the fire brigade and prepared for work in an active emergency department. In addition, the youth fire brigade performs important tasks in general youth work: It offers various leisure activities for the members and is intended to promote social commitment and teamwork among young people.

The management of the youth fire brigade is incumbent on the city youth fire brigade and his deputy at the level of the overall fire brigade and the youth fire brigade and their deputies on the department level.
