Rescue control center Fürstenfeldbruck plans fusion with other counties!

The integrated control center (ILS) in Fürstenfeldbruck is facing a profound change! She currently coordinates emergency calls for four counties - Starnberg, Dachau, Landsberg and Fürstenfeldbruck. But that could change soon! Talks about a merger with the ILS Oberland in the Weilheim-Schongau district are already underway. A new special -purpose association could extend the area to a total of seven counties and increase the population of 640,000 to just under one million. A massive challenge that is promoted by the urgently needed conversion of the technology!

technical urgency

The background of these ambitious plans: The existing ILS Oberland is reaching its limits! The control center operated by the Red Cross in Weilheim-Schongau is technically outdated and urgently needs a new home. The Situation is precarious because renewal in the current building is not feasible. The pressure for a solution is growing, especially since the Brucker district is already a completely new control center in Gernlinden, which will be equipped for the soon to be handed over in May 2025.

The new capacity of the control center should be generously measured in order to cope with the challenges of an expanded pension area. This means that both technology and premises are tailored to the new size, even if something has to be put together here.

positive signals

The decision -makers are optimistic! A positive vote from Weilheim has already paved the first step towards new structures. The application for the merger was formally submitted, now there are advisors and resolutions. The Brucker committee is ready to discuss this idea in the December meeting. The merger felt long overdue for many - it could not only save resources, but also increase the effectiveness of emergency calls. Because whether the callers from Gernlinden or Weilheim are connected is not decisive for them. The only important thing is that help has to arrive as soon as possible!
