Future for the fire department: New fire engines for Murchin and Gnoien!

Next week there are two events on the agenda in Malchow that are important for the fire department in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Interior State Secretary Wolfgang Schmülling will hand over two fire fighting vehicles at the State School for Fire and Disaster Protection. These vehicles are part of the “Sustainable Fire Department” funding program, which aims to equip emergency services with modern technology.

The handover will take place on two dates and media representatives are warmly invited to report on this important event. The first appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. The second appointment follows on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at 2 p.m. The event location is the State School for Fire and Disaster Protection M-V, located at Sandstrasse 12, 17213 Malchow.

Details about vehicle handover

The two fire fighting vehicles, type LF 20, will be handed over to the municipality of Murchin in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district and to the city of Gnoien in the Rostock district. This vehicle handover is not only a sign of appreciation for the fire department technicians on site, but also an example of the continuous improvement of the operational readiness and safety of the population.

The funding approach of the “Sustainable Fire Department” program pursues long-term goals: by purchasing new, efficient technology, response times during operations are shortened and the training and operational activities of fire brigade colleagues are optimized. This is particularly important in order to meet the challenges of modern operations.

The initiative shows that the state government takes the important role of fire departments seriously and wants to equip them with the necessary resources to ensure the safety of citizens in crisis situations. Fire departments are often the first responders on scene, regardless of whether there is a fire, flood or other emergency.

The event will be followed by various insiders and members of the fire department who are looking forward to presenting the new technologies in mobility and safety. In this sense, the handover is expected to be of great benefit to both deployed forces and communities.

Media coverage of this handover will help raise awareness of developments within the fire service and progress in equipping emergency services. The topic of fire services and their importance in society is thus brought into focus. If you would like to find out more about the topic, you can follow the reporting and continue to monitor the fire department's services, as they are a crucial pillar in averting danger.

Cooperation between the state government and the local authorities is essential for the precise planning and requirements surrounding the handover. This partnership enables resources to be used strategically and sensibly to best prepare emergency services for the challenges of the future.
