Fire chief

Training information

We will inform you here as soon as we offer training positions as fire chief again.

As a fire chief, you represent the tactical and technical basis of the fire department. You carry out operations and rescue measures directly in hazardous areas and must keep a cool head in life-threatening situations.

The training lasts about 12 months and includes three modules:

  • the basic module,
  • the paramedic module and
  • a site-specific training,

which will prepare and train you optimally for the many different missions and situations. The basic module covers many important skills that enable you to recognize and assess the dangers that arise in firefighting service. In addition, the focus is on the correct execution of the activities involved under operational conditions. The paramedic module includes training to become a paramedic and is supported by a hospital internship and a paramedic internship. The site-specific training depends on your previous knowledge and the needs of the main fire station. During non-operational times, devices, equipment and emergency vehicles must be maintained and serviced so that they are available again for the next operations. According to the motto: - rescue - recover - extinguish - protect - as a fire chief you are in the middle of the action. The motto describes the complete field of activity of a fire officer. The oldest task of the fire department is to extinguish fires. It also involves averting life-threatening situations and rescuing people from predicaments. In addition, the fire department is used to take preventive measures to prevent hazards.
