The role of the fire department

In Germany, and also here in Bavaria, the fire brigade plays a central role in averting danger. The main mission is not only to fight fires, but also to save, rescue and protect human lives. At the end of 2022, there were a total of around 48,100 fire departments in the country. How Statista As you can see, these are mainly voluntary fire brigades. They recorded over 229,000 deployments to fires and explosions in 2022.

The emergency services are often under enormous pressure because in the same year there were 333 deaths due to smoke, fire and flames. Our fire department has increasingly focused on rescue and rescue services, offering technical assistance and even animal rescue.
