New dangerous goods vehicle for Jerichower Land: 300,000 euros for protection!
There is reason to celebrate in Jerichower Land: Saxony-Anhalt has invested heavily in fire and disaster protection and handed over a new hazardous goods equipment vehicle. Interior Minister Dr. Tamara Zieschang was on site to hand over the modernly equipped vehicle to the district. The funding from the state amounts to a healthy 300,000 euros and is intended to strengthen the operational capability in dealing with hazardous materials and disaster operations. Skverlag reports.
The new equipment truck will be stationed in Genthin and is intended to support the local fire department in exceptional situations. The vehicle's area of application is broad: atomic, biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear hazards (ABC/CBRN) are among the possible application scenarios. In the future, the fire departments will not only be able to act in typical hazardous materials operations, but also provide support in disaster control across the region. This is particularly important because communities in Saxony-Anhalt are responsible for fire protection. Saxony-Anhalt press informed.
State-of-the-art equipment for the safety of the population
With the new equipment trolley, Saxony-Anhalt is taking an important step towards greater safety for the population. The vehicle is equipped with high-quality special technology that will support firefighters in operations involving hazardous substances. The handover marks not only the delivery of a new vehicle, but also part of the country's larger strategy to improve fire service infrastructure. According to the information Further important investments for the fire department will be announced in the coming years - more than 18.2 million euros are planned for various projects in 2025.
In total, the state has already funded around 300 vehicles with almost 47 million euros between 2020 and 2025, including fire fighting vehicles and turntable ladders. This targeted support not only helps to increase regional security, but also guarantees the operational readiness of the fire departments in the area. Skverlag highlights that the new equipment trolley is an indispensable part of modern security in Jerichower Land.
The state of Saxony-Anhalt has shown a good hand when it comes to infrastructure planning, because these investments are a clear step into the future.
