Fire brigade Wernsdorf: Cities increase budget for new watchtower by 2 million!

Fire brigade Wernsdorf: Cities increase budget for new watchtower by 2 million!

In a pioneering decision, the city council unanimously approved the new fire brigade in Wernsdorf. This measure, which is necessary due to the inadequate conditions of the existing equipment house, is to significantly improve the safety and efficiency of the emergency services. However, the planned total costs have increased from originally 4.63 million euros to around 6.65 million euros, which caused the city council to plan the additional costs in the household, reports maz-online.de .

The new guard is expected to be completed before 2027, since the construction work has not yet started due to a delayed B-plan procedure. Originally, the completion was to be completed in early 2025. The current location of the tool shed is far too small and dilapidated and thus harbors considerable risks, in particular the safety of firefighters.

Need for a new building

The old location is no longer portable. According to an extensive analysis, there is a significant investment backlog in the fire station in Germany, which amounts to around 16.3 billion euros. The requirements for security and functionality are no longer available on many fire brigade houses, which often date from the 1960s and 1970s, as the platform answering.de . In order to ensure that the emergency services can work under safe conditions, new buildings and comprehensive renovations are increasingly necessary.

The Wernsdorf local defense guide, Marcel Schust, is happy about the support of the city council and sees a realistic goal for completion of the new building in 2027. The security in the fire station is of central importance, since the fire brigade is responsible for the health protection of the emergency services. Alarm cases bring special dangers that have to be minimized by suitable structural measures.

In order to continue to meet the requirements in the future, the fire brigades also need space for the latest equipment. The new building in Wernsdorf could prove to be a decisive step for optimizing operational readiness and thus strengthen the security of the citizens in the long run.

an exemplary example

in other communities, such as in Amlingstadt, the construction of a fire service equipment house was successfully planned. This initiative shows that it is possible to implement a timely and cost -effective project through strategic planning and participations from other weirs. This new tool shed in Amlingstadt will not only offer modern changing rooms and storage rooms, but also integrate training rooms and a PV system for energy supply. Overall, the costs amount to around 1.1 million euros, whereby grants from the Free State of Bavaria could be relieved, as reporting on wittich.de illustrated.

These developments clearly show that the future of the fire station is in a strategic overall strategic planning and a future -oriented approach. The safety of the emergency services and the appropriate equipment must always be a priority.
