Fire brigade in Boock celebrates new building: 1.61 million for fire protection!
The new fire brigade equipment house in Boock is inaugurated in Boock today, on June 17, 2025-a project that took a whopping for 12 years in preparation, the search for funding and the construction period. In his speech, Mayor Gunnar Mißling (CDU) criticized that concerns and critical voices from the municipal council had stopped since 2013 and led to the fact that urgent measures often fell by the wayside. Because the old fire station, which came from the 1980s, was not only too small, but also no longer corresponded to the applicable regulations. Especially after the purchase of a new fire truck in 2009, it became apparent that the old premises were no longer sufficient.The original planning provided for an extension for 360,000 euros, but this was rejected by the majority of the community representatives. Instead, the decision was made for a new building, the necessity of which was underpinned by comprehensive risk analysis and demand planning. The project was finally implemented with a desired budget of 78,000 euros. The total costs amounted to 1.61 million euros, whereby a financing gap of 615,000 euros had to be concluded by taking a loan. A generous promotion of 220,000 euros through the state and the circle made the project possible in the first place, as [nordkurier] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/pasewalk/zauberi-und-magie-dorf-buermeister-Finding- zu-Brandschutz-klare- 3674528).
support and financing
In a further step to ensure a contemporary fire brigade infrastructure, the financial support options and the legal framework make the necessary implementation easier. Voluntary fire brigade members have the right to safe and adequate fire station. According to the accident prevention regulations (UVV), employers are obliged to design workplaces in such a way that the health and safety of the employees are guaranteed. The Safe Fire Brigade emphasizes that municipalities are responsible for the construction measures and have to plan them responsibly.
Thanks to government funding, numerous municipalities in Germany can fall back on substantial help. Fire security is an enormous task in particular in financially challenging rural areas. This is especially true for municipalities that have to maintain several fire brigade guards. Among other things, the municipalities receive support from grants from fire protection tax, as is the case in North Rhine-Westphalia. In Bavaria, the funding for fire station is also to be further improved. From 2025 you will even promote the general renovation of existing fire station so that they correspond to the standard of a new building.
a new chapter for the Boocker fire brigade
The new tool shed in Boock will in future offer 60 firefighters, including 25 active fire protection officers. Military leader Maik Rieck did not miss the opportunity to thank Mayor Mißling for his tireless efforts and hard work. The construction work was planned by the Kulta engineering office and carried out by Stiertlich Hallenbau, while weekly construction consultations under the direction of Missing Deputy Thomas Moll took place.
At the inauguration ceremony, which was accompanied by the Science Minister Bettina Martin (SPD), political representatives were also present who spoke out their congratulations to the construction project. At the same time, the demand for a special funding program for the new equipment houses was loud to strengthen the security and operational readiness of the weirs in the future. So Boock is now at the beginning of a new chapter that looks promising with a well -equipped fire station and a motivated team.
