The integrated control center Trier, which has been in operation since 2000, has now also included the Birkenfeld district in its area of ​​responsibility. The first district deputy Immanuel Hoffmann said that this step is not only a reaction to legal requirements, but also a chance to improve efficiency in emergency care. With this change, 85 fire departments, six rescue guards and two emergency locations are integrated into the system. The coordination is supported by the Landesverband Rheinland-Palatinate of the German Red Cross, as well as by the Trier-Saarburg district administration as the responsible authority, as is the result of the information on Feurehrier.de

In the course of 2024, the dispatchers of the control center already processed over 165,000 missions. The newly implemented system helps to cope with the challenges from digitization and the changed framework conditions more effectively. Sven Ney, the head of the integrated control center, emphasized the importance of the smooth change and the extensive training of all dispatchers on the new organizational conditions. The expansion of this control center is a crucial step in emergency care, which not only captures the Birkenfeld district, but also the surrounding counties.
