Bavaria strengthens disaster protection: handed over 50 new emergency vehicles!

In an impressive act of support for the emergency services, the internal and disaster protection minister Joachim Herrmann in Gunzenhausen handed over 50 new vehicles that were financed by the Free State of Bavaria.

Of course, this also includes powerful emergency vehicles," emphasized Herrmann with emphasis.

New vehicle for the BRK district association Ostallgäu

A special highlight was the handover of a team transport car treatment (MTW) ​​to the BRK district association Ostallgäu. Alexander Denzel, Head of Volunteering, and Tobias Hollmann, deputy district onbness manager, accepted the vehicle. "The MTW is used for larger emergency services and in the case of large damage events in disaster protection," said Denzel. The quick deployment group for treatment, consisting of a group leader and nine medical operations, will use the new vehicle to react quickly and efficiently in emergencies. Hollmann was happy about the modern technical and medical equipment of the new Mtw.

thanks for volunteering

Minister Herrmann took the opportunity to thank the volunteer forces. "The best financial provision and equipment is of no use without them. It all depends on them, because they not only sacrifice their free time, but also often put their health or even their lives to help their fellow human beings in emergencies," he said. Bavaria has an efficient hazard and assistance system, but Herrmann emphasized that the state government continues to invest a lot in disaster protection. However, he criticized the federal government for the repeated cuts of funds for population protection that affect all countries. "We have to work together on continuous improvements and further strengthen our preparations for a wide range of disasters," says Herrmann.
