The institute of the fire brigade Saxony-Anhalt (short IdF LSA ) is located in Heyrothsberge . It is one of the largest fire department research facilities in Germany. The research institute, which has existed since 1967, was merged with the fire protection and disaster protection school to form the Institute for Fire and Disaster Protection Heyrothsberge (IBK) by resolution of the state government of Saxony-Anhalt . The former research facility now forms the research department at the IBK. To make it clear that research is still the second mainstay of the IBK, the department was given the nickname “Institute of the Fire Brigade”.
history
Founded on May 22, 1938 as a fire brigade school in the province of Saxony, the facility in Heyrothsberge was one of the best-equipped training facilities for fire brigades in Germany at the time. Since it was founded, the school has always been a training center for fire brigades until 1945 and after the bomb damage was repaired in 1948. While the training for volunteers and the professional fire brigades took place from 1948 to 1967, with the relocation of the engineering courses from Dresden to Heyrothsberge, from 1967, the fire brigade school became the "Fachschule der Feuerwehr Heyrothsberge". Until the political turnaround, only members of the professional fire brigades were trained as "engineers for fire protection".
After the decision of the federal government, for all the new federal states and Berlin to carry out the training in extended disaster control in Heyrothsberge together in the future, the facility was transferred to the Heyrothsberge fire protection and disaster control school on October 16, 1991 by the Minister of the Interior of Saxony-Anhalt. (BKS Heyrothsberge) renamed.
This gave the school fundamentally new tasks, a new profile and became the first nationwide model of a combined training facility for members of the fire brigades and aid organizations.
On November 1, 1967, the "Fire Brigade Institute" (IdF) was founded in Heyrothsberge as the central research facility for the fire brigades in the GDR. After reunification, it was continued as a state facility with the name "Institute of the Fire Brigade Saxony-Anhalt". The institute managed to make a name for itself both nationally and internationally.
By resolution of the state government of Saxony-Anhalt, BKS and IdF were merged to form the “Institute for Fire and Disaster Protection Heyrothsberge” (IBK Heyrothsberge) in order to bring teaching and research closer together and to develop synergy effects. This step was completed on January 1, 2014.
research
At IdF Heyrothsberge, application-related projects with a special focus on defensive fire protection are processed. In doing so, relevant questions from preventive fire protection and environmental protection are also taken into account. Due to the realignment of the location, mission-related topics as well as those of disaster control are becoming increasingly important. The research projects are processed in an interdisciplinary manner on a scientific and technical basis. Methodologically, a spectrum of demanding investigation procedures is used, ranging from mathematical simulation techniques to laboratory tests and measurements to large-scale experiments. A modern test basis and equipment technology are available for this purpose. The main research areas include: extinguishing methods and agents, assessment of hazardous substances from the point of view of fire services, personal protective equipment for fire services as well as tactical and technical developments in the fire and disaster control sector.
Course and advanced training offer
The institute works closely with the other departments of the IBK in education and training. Findings from current research tasks flow into the training of members of the professional and voluntary fire departments as well as into the training of the members of the Federal Analytical Task Force ( ATF ).
In cooperation with the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences and the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg , the course on safety and hazard prevention is offered, which, among other things, aims to impart the knowledge required to combat disasters effectively.
Facilities
In addition to physical and chemical laboratories, the IdF also includes large-scale test facilities in which real-scale experiments can be carried out. All facilities and laboratories are available as part of research services for companies and institutes worldwide. The following list is an excerpt of the options offered.
- Fire house: consisting of 4 separate fire rooms of different sizes (up to 20 m high)
- Fire tunnel: 30 m long, brick tunnel structure
- various free trial areas
- Wet laboratory: for measuring nozzles and extinguishing nozzles, including with a phase Doppler anemometer
- Chemical analysis: GC / MS , FTIR spectrometer , PID , Raman spectrometer and other processes
- Heat cabinets and heat radiation wall for testing protective equipment and other materials and components
Analytical Task Force
There are currently 7 locations of the Analytical Task Force ( ATF for short ) in Germany. From 2007 to 2013 Heyrothsberge was one of them. However, due to the budget situation and the unresolved issue of alerting and the relationship between the IBK employees and their work in the ATF, this was resolved. Most of the technology stationed at the site has been transferred to the new ATF site - the Leipzig fire brigade.
Since the IBK continues to serve as a nationwide training location for the members of the ATF, many new devices have been purchased and are available both for research tasks and for training. If necessary, they can be loaded onto the mobile fire technology laboratory (MOBLAB) stationed at the IBK and brought to deployment sites in the state of Saxony-Anhalt as a supporting component. This "operational readiness" can currently (as of 02/2018) only be ensured during the IBK's working hours. In addition to the requirement of the MOBLAB, there is also the possibility of alerting special forces of the IdF with a command vehicle and less measuring equipment as a specialist advisor to the deployment sites. In addition, the operations management can also give advice over the phone.
