The intention is to work more close together and to focus on issues that are important for all firefighters, regardless of mode of employment, Full time, Part time or Volunteer.
One for all: the German Fire Brigade Association
Around 1.3 million members in volunteer, youth, professional and industrial fire brigades in 32,000 fire stations nationwide. Of these more than one million women and men are volunteers. The nationwide security of the bill takes into account the dense population of Germany and brings the citizens fast help in every place.
Without professional exchange, joint actions and a concentrated representation of interests, the German fire service would probably not be as it is - fast, competent and reliable.
The German Fire Service Association bundles and represents the interests of the 16 state fire brigade associations and the two federal groups. Thirteen departments analyze problems and events in ad hoc working groups, accompany developments, draw up expert opinions and concepts for the work of the fire brigades and for the representation of a high-performance fire service.
Together with its partners at the provincial, county and local level, the DFV organizes the German Firefighters' Day, the annual firefighter campaign, competitions, performance evaluations and other events.
It is closely associated with the German Fire Brigade Museum in Fulda and the foundation "Hilfe für Helfer" for psychosocial emergency care.
In cooperation with its mail order company in Bonn, the DFV publishes the "Feuerwehr Yearbook". DFV also represents the German fire brigades actively in the International Association of Fire and Rescue Service CTIF.
