Volunteer For Hospital Resume

fire departments are now gofer

Not every application necessary - fire departments call for self-help on

If not all across the State about 200,000 fire service operations last year had the fire department must move out, "said Alfons Weinzierl, chairman of the National Fire Association Bayern . More and more frequently access many fellow citizens prematurely to the phone, for example because a branch is on the bike path, although this would be quickly made with a handle to one side.

no means do the fire departments encourage everyone to put themselves in danger: "When in doubt, always use the emergency be discontinued 112 and paid to self-protection, "said Chairman Alfons Weinzierl. The flip side: Firefighters leave because of a "twig" their jobs, although actually did remove all the branch may, without putting themselves at risk. This leads to more and more problems at work, if it is only a "trivial matter". Fire service is provided in Bavaria, mainly volunteers. This means that the firefighters during the day to leave his job if the pager or the siren call is used. Also flooded with water in the basement of the arrival of the fire department is only three centimeters under water and have the forces under the impression that the house owners prefer to continue to watch the game on TV, when the forces is to support a classic example of how everyone could pack up yourself rather than watch. The same applies to the Bavaria that 12,700 false alarms per year, which are triggered by fire detection systems. Here the operators are asked to leave on their plants regularly to avoid false alarms.

The range of the fire services in recent decades has become increasingly diverse. From the classic fire-fighting to the increasingly diverse technical assistance, there is almost no area where no more fire departments are working need. Fire departments fight fires of all kinds be it the trash fire, a car fire, a house fire or the fire at a tire warehouse in an industrial company. Firefighters rescue people trapped in road accidents with persons from the upper floors of a building when the stairway is too narrow if a house residents are not logged out or is missing. Firefighters take care of oil spills or hazardous materials such as acids and bases. Fire departments are in train, ship or aircraft accidents also on hand as water, storm and flood damage. About 10,000 people in Bavaria were cared for by so-called "First Responder units" in the past year and bridged with the "organized first-aid" the time until the ambulance arrives. When fires were 1,700 people and technical assistance, for example in road accidents, over 9,100 people are rescued.

In view of demographic trends in the population, an ever-tightening labor market conditions and increasingly difficult to ensure the daily alarms, the fire departments must focus on their "core business". And here, any help, in which he, for example, immediately after the fire calls, but only one is considering whether the "twig" on the bike path is not even safe to put aside can.
