Grevenbroich's fire department starts a new support unit: Helping in the background!

GREVENBROICH: A new boost for the fire department! The city has now set up a support department within the Grevenbroich Volunteer Fire Department, which will begin its work immediately. This group, consisting of eight dedicated members, is not deployed on the front lines but plays a crucial role in the background. Ingo Reiners, the deputy head of the military, emphasizes: “In the future, the support department will play a central role alongside the operations.” This unit takes care of feeding the emergency services, coordinates hygiene measures and helps where additional support is required.

Relevant background work

Hour-long operations during major fires or natural disasters not only require brave rescuers, but also sensible organization in the background. These new helpers of the helpers are aimed at people who, for various reasons, can no longer or do not want to be actively involved. For example, the group currently consists of seven women and one man, including those who have retired from active service due to age. Such support departments have existed in other fire departments for several years, and now this proven concept is also being implemented in Grevenbroich fireworld.at reported.

The Grevenbroich fire department consists not only of the full-time station, but also of various voluntary units in different parts of the city, which are under the command of Chief Fire Officer Udo Lennartz. This expansion of the fire brigade structures is intended not only to optimize operational capability, but also to promote the work and interests of all firefighters. Information about emergency numbers, fire protection and our fire department can be found on the official website City of Grevenbroich be read.
