The district fire inspection is an almost exclusively voluntary management instance in the Bavarian fire service at district level and forms the direct interface between the district administrative authority and the fire services. The central legal basis is the III. Section of the BayFwG and the AVBayFwG. In Bavaria the term does not appear in the law, but in the enforcement notice (VollzBekBayFwG). The term "Kreisbrandinspektion" or "Stadtbrandinspektion" (in independent municipalities) is also used in Hesse .

definition

The district fire inspection is set up by the districts of Bavaria to ensure the professional supervision of the fire brigades. The district fire inspection is headed by the district fire council . He is supported in this by the district fire inspectors and the district fire supervisors , whom he appoints in agreement with the district office .

In urban districts , this is referred to as the city fire inspection, analogously there is a city fire council, city fire inspector and city fire chief. In large district towns the commander is referred to as the town fire inspector, his deputy as the town fire chief.

According to the enforcement notice of the Bavarian Fire Brigade Act, the district fire inspection consists of the special management ranks of the corresponding regional authority at district level. In Bavaria these special leadership ranks are:

Rank district independent city Inspection area Great county seat
District / City Fire Council x commander - -
District / town fire inspector - Deputy Commander x commander
District / city fire chief - x x Deputy Commander

It forms the upper fire brigade management level in a district, so it is part of the internal management or administration of the fire brigade. In Bavaria there is no further internal management level above the district or city fire inspections, as is the case in other federal states. All about continuous coordination processes are at the administrative level ( government , Bavarian Ministry of the Interior ) or at association level ( District Fire Brigade Association , Landesfeuerwehrverband regulated). Therefore, the work of the district fire brigade associations or city fire brigade associations are always closely linked to the inspections.

The terms "Kreisbrandrat", "county fire Inspector" and "Kreisbrandmeister" are not as classic ranks to understand but also function names. Therefore they are referred to as “special leadership ranks”. Each of these “special leadership ranks” continues to retain the rank of their home fire brigade, only these rank badges are no longer worn visibly on the uniform , but are replaced by the function badges. As an apprenticeship, they must have completed the " Association Leader " course in accordance with fire service regulation 2 at a state fire service school. In most cases, additional courses are added when special tasks are taken on within the inspection.

tasks

In addition to inspecting the fire brigades, the district fire inspection also has the task of ensuring uniform training, drawing up alarm plans, advising the fire brigades and authorities, deepening cooperation with other emergency services and other disaster control organizations, performing performance tests and, if necessary, the operations management to take over during operations. Operations management is usually taken over if the commander or the respective unit commander at the site of the damage so wishes, if the size of the damage situation makes this necessary or if there are other compelling reasons. For this reason, the "special command ranks" are always alerted to major missions in their area.

The district fire councils and district fire inspectors often also take on the office of " Local Operations Manager (ÖEL)" in disaster operations. Then they have attended the advanced training at the State Fire Brigade School Geretsried and may have already been "named in advance" by the district offices, i.e. In other words, they can already exercise this function in the event of damage before the main administrative officer (HVB) together with the disaster control management group (FüGK) has been able to determine the disaster or at least the need for the use of the ÖEL.

Members of the inspection

The members of the inspection often also take on the following tasks and functions or are supported by other staff:

  • instructor

The so-called district trainers (or district trainers) are executives from the fire brigades who are active outside of the area, i.e. In other words, not only organize the training in your own fire department, but also participate in courses for several fire departments. These are in particular trainers for troop man / troop leader training, machinists , respiratory protection and radiotelephone training and other courses, some of which are defined in fire service regulation 2.

The so-called achievement badges are very common in Bavaria. These are performance tests that include operational exercises that must be carried out as error-free as possible by a tactical unit in a given time. Various youth badges are also part of these performance tests. The correct assessment and review of the performance is incumbent on the referees, who are appointed by the district fire council and must have attended a referee course at a state fire brigade school.

  • District youth warden

The district youth warden (also: district youth fire department warden) organizes the youth work of the fire brigades at the district level. Mostly a district youth warden (often a district fire chief) is assigned to this work, but in some districts there are also other organizational structures.

  • Civil Protection Units

Since disaster control in Bavaria is very closely linked to the fire brigades, the management of special disaster control units is often the responsibility of fire brigade managers. In many cases, these are also included in the district fire inspection.

  • More functions

Other groups of people can also be included in the inspection, such as radio clerks or heads of working groups . This is sometimes handled very differently.
