Preparing for Emergencies
The prospective firefighters can expect a demanding program. In around 980 training hours, they will be taught the necessary theoretical foundations. These are directly linked to intensive practical exercises. Another essential focus is on training physical performance, which is mandatory for the physically demanding daily routine of emergency services.
The participants are trained by an experienced team from the municipal Fachdienst Feuerwehr. The goal of the coming months is to optimally prepare the candidates for the high demands of emergency service.
Background: Ensuring Fire and Disaster Protection
The sound training of new emergency personnel is a central component in ensuring fire and disaster protection in Jena and the region. In addition to the professional fire department, which is on standby around the clock, highly qualified specialists play a vital role in public safety. The composition of the current course with participants from various federal states and industry also demonstrates the supra-regional networking in firefighter training.
In general, the Jena Fire Department advises citizens to take a preventive approach to fire protection. This includes, for example, the regular maintenance and testing of home smoke detectors, the installation of which is legally required in Thüringen for bedrooms, children’s rooms, and hallways that serve as escape routes.
