New construction for fire station in Duisburg-Hamborn: More security for everyone!

In Duisburg-Hamborn, a new fire and rescue station is being built, the groundbreaking ceremony of which is planned for spring 2025. The construction is intended to significantly improve current conditions for the volunteer fire brigade and the youth fire brigade. The completion is planned by the end of 2026, and as Radio Duisburg is an important answer to the security problems in the neighborhood, especially with regard to the nearby Grillo plant. In the area of ​​this working area, the construction of a leisure location with quality of stay is excluded.

Christopher Hagenacker, a district politician of the SPD, has confirmed that inquiries from residents have already received more about the construction project. In order to promote the understanding of the project, new banners were attached to the construction site fence. These were hung up by the volunteer and youth fire brigade, also to win potential new members.

improved infrastructure for fire brigade and youth fire brigade

The existing infrastructure of the voluntary fire departments in Hamborn and Marxloh dates from the 60s and 20s, although many institutions are no longer sufficient for today's demands. A major deficiency was the lack of separation of clean and dirty laundry and insufficient sanitary facilities. These defects should be remedied with the new guard.

With the new fire station, the members of the youth fire brigade not only receive new rooms, but also their own practice area, which significantly improve the previous conditions. The approximately 80 firefighters in the four guard departments are also available to modernized vehicles and equipment, including:

• operational control car (ELW-1 for the BVE)
• Aid extinguishing group vehicle (HLF 20)
• aerial ladder (DLK 23/12)
• ambulance
• Wechsellader vehicle

Pro 24-hour layer are filled with 18 functions to ensure a quick response time in the operational area, which includes the Hamborn, Röttgersbach and Marxloh districts.

wax area and possible uses

The new fire and rescue station 3 is being built on Duisburger Straße 145 and aims to significantly improve emergency care in the neighboring districts. One of the special tasks of the guard include the provision of support in building accident trains, for the support and securing of collapsed buildings and when dealing with accidents in construction pits.

The fire brigades in Germany play a crucial role in defensive and preventive fire protection as well as in assistance in the event of accidents. In the context of the legal regulations, the tasks and organization of the fire brigades are diverse, and if necessary, they can also work for other authorities, as can be seen in wikipedia . The fire brigade is therefore not only a central place for the equipment and vehicles, but also an important part of the municipal security architecture.
