Fire protection

Fire protection

In the context of fire protection, the specialist service for rescue services, fire protection and disaster control conducts hazard prevention inspections, prepares fire protection statements in the building permit procedure or advises the cities and municipalities on the planning, installation, equipment and maintenance of the volunteer fire brigades.

In addition, he is in charge of the overall management of major emergencies and large-scale operations, organises and conducts training courses and seminars for fire brigade members at district level, draws up alarm and operation plans or advises building owners and architects on structural and technical fire protection. Furthermore, he conducts fire brigade performance exercises, supervises the youth fire brigades and plans and promotes fire prevention education and fire safety information.

Fire alarm systems

Fire alarm systems for the early detection of fires can help to fight fires in the early stages. They can be connected to the central control centre of the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.

Fire prevention education

Educating people about fire prevention, proper fire handling and fire behaviour is an important area of responsibility in preventive fire protection.

Preventive fire protection

Preventive fire protection coordinates all preventive fire protection measures and represents the link between purely structural concerns and defensive fire protection.
