Fire brigade and police: A strong team in fire fighting!

In the municipality of Poysdorf, there was a special winter training for firefighters organized by district broken investigator Martin Jilli. The lecture, which focused on the collaboration between the fire brigade and the police at fire events, illustrated the decisive role of the fire brigades for the investigative work of the fire investigators. This was demonstrated at a major fire in Kaufbeuren in June 2022, as a fire and the police worked hand in hand to cope with the situation with over 30 fire engines and 127 emergency services, such as Brand-feuer.de reported.

The training aimed to increase the efficiency of the use by optimizing the processes in fire fighting and subsequent investigation.
