What's new at the fire brigade? Recently visited the fire brigade in Neulußheim, where she found out about the current status of the construction work in the fire station and the new vehicle hall with Commandant Sascha Langlotz. The outer cultivation of the hall is almost completed, but the interior is still on the to-do list. The interior currently acts like a shell, and at almost two years of construction. Future innovations include changing rooms for both genders and modernized sanitary facilities. In addition, the digitization of the fire brigade is rated as positive. [Grüne Neulußheim] (https://gruene-neuaufheim.de/gruener-visiting-fire-Bei-Feuerwehr-Feuerweiltige-Feuer- and----------- and-------fahtfaehig-machen/) emphasize that there should be planned regular meetings between the administration, the municipal council and fire brigade to strengthen the cooperation.

fire brigade and volunteering: a strong team

The discussion about compensation for the firefighters is particularly exciting. The compensation is 12 euros per assignment, with the self -employed being paid at 50 euros gross per hour. The commander expressed the intention of revising the compensation statute. At the same time, youth work in the fire brigade is highly emphasized: the number of participants increases and the groups are sorted by age. Younger members experience smaller exercises and joint actions, while the older ones prepare for missions from the age of 17. The fire brigade is particularly praised as a model for children and adolescents. [Grüne Neulußheim] (https://gruene- new 4/gruener-bei-bei-bei-beuerwehrtigige-Feuer-Feuer-and-Zurfsfaehig-machen/) points out that this offers a great opportunity to intensify the cooperation between the fire brigade and other clubs in youth work.

Florentin von Kaufmann, head of department for steering operations at the Munich Fire Brigade, is not only known for his work in the Munich Brand Directorate, but also for his active contribution to the specialist committee since its foundation in 2018. In Munich, the performance of the fire brigade is of enormous importance. The fire brigade law of Baden-Württemberg demands that the municipalities set up and maintain a powerful fire brigade, which reflects the standard all over Germany. Fire Brigade Association emphasizes the need to continuously work on the further development of the fire brigade and its structures.
