Munich Fire Department
After several attempts, especially in the 1860s, which failed mainly due to financial reasons, the volunteer fire department Munich was founded on 10 September 1866 through the work of Julius Knorr, J.
As early as 1870, due to the rapidly growing population, a permanent night watch was set up in Munich and assigned to the volunteer fire department.
In 2010, a total of 58 uniform aid firefighting vehicles 20/16 were procured for the volunteer and professional fire departments in Munich.
[6] The area of service of fire station 4 includes the city districts Schwabing, Maxvorstadt, Neuhausen, the Englischer Garten, Freimann and parts of the Lehel.
In addition, the colleagues with disinfector training are stationed here, to which are also alerted by certain key words, and are responsible for questions relating to hygiene and infectious diseases.
In such cases, the fire station also works closely with the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in the further education of medical students, emergency physicians and other rescue service employees.
In addition, there is also a clothing workshop in Neuperlach, in which the personal protective equipment of the emergency personnel is stored, mended, washed and issued.
As special units, it operates the ICT group,[10] the flight marshal squadron,[11] the ABC force and the catering squad of the Munich fire department.
In December 1870, additional volunteer fire brigades were integrated into today's disengagement area of the department city center.
The volunteer fire department Oberföhring was founded in January 1870 and combined in 1907 with the neighboring forces from Daglfing, Unterföhring and Ismaning.
The royal district office Munich country gave, in 1874, all municipalities the order to set up volunteer fire departments.
A large part of the comrades fell victim to the Second World War, the emergency vehicles were destroyed in the invasion of the Americans.
In addition, the troops were assigned so-called external load containers for firefighting from the air (with helicopters e.g. the police helicopter squadron Bavaria) type SEMAT 900 (2 tanks with a capacity of 900 L each) and SEMAT 5000 (2 tanks with a capacity of 5000 L each), The department therefore supports the marshalling squadron of the Munich Fire Department.
The exact founding date of the firefighting group in Waldtrudering can unfortunately no longer be determined, since all documents were destroyed in the Second World War.
The area of operation extends from Boschetsrieder Straße in the north to the Autobahnring (belt highway) in the south and from Drygalski Allee in the east to the city limits in the west.
The rations truck, which serves to provide for the personnel during long-term operations, consisting of kitchen wagons and food trailers,[14] is stationed at Gmunder Straße in the Civil Protection Center.
By the delivery contract of a fire-extinguishing sprayer of 29 November 1859, the existence of an organized fire department took place for the first time.
The active area of the volunteer fire department Großhadern includes the neighborhoods: Hadern, Blumenau and parts of Laim and Pasing.
On average, the Allach department handles 150 missions a year, with technical assistance dealing with severe weather damage and fire fighting making up the bulk of the alarms.
[20] The emergency medical service in the city and in the districts of Munich was founded in 1966 by the professional fire department and is still in operation today ("Rettungsdienstzweckverband München").
Since then, nine hospitals provide a physician specializing in internal medicine, surgery or anesthesia for service on the three ambulance and eight emergency doctor vehicles.
In addition, there is also a neonatal emergency doctor from the ranks of the children's specialists of the cardiological intensive care unit of the German Heart Center.
The neonatal emergency doctor and an intensive care worker are then picked up by the ambulance Florian München 70/30, who has a mobile incubator on board.
The same applies to the ambulances of the works fire service BMW, Krauss-Maffei, MTU / MAN and TU Munich in Garching.
Due to civil service regulations, all professional firefighters in Germany have completed training as a lifeguard (at the minimum the German rescue swimming badge in bronze).
In order to save time, two divers of the fire station 5 are picked up by a rescue helicopter and flown directly to the place of the incident.
In order to be able to treat diver accidents, there is also a stationary pressure chamber (center for hyperbaric medicine) at the fire station 5, which is also suitable for the treatment of smoke poisoning and other intoxications.
For this purpose, the dispatchers can fall back on a firefighting and rescue service training, as well as several years of operational experience.
It also serves nationwide as a counseling center in dealing with hazardous substances and provides further help, if necessary, such as TUIS, ATF.
It is also responsible throughout Bavaria for the coordination of intensive care transport helicopters, as well as the distribution and availability of beds for severely burned casualties.
