First service of the North of Water Transport: Fire Brigade Celle starts!

On Monday, June 17, 2025, the first training service of the North of Water Transport North of the fire brigade Celle took place. This start had several goals: the members should get to know each other better, clarify any technical questions and receive an overview of the vehicles and the equipment. Last but not least, the theoretical instruction was based on the basics of the vegetation fire fighting on the agenda. As reported fire brigade-celle.de, everything went soepel and positively. Feedback from the participants was consistently gratifying and the commitment was noticeable.

A central point of the training was the practical exercise unit with the focus "Pump and Roll". The firefighters were not only able to deepen the handling of the vehicles, but also learn various techniques for fire fighting. It is important to emphasize that the training serves to train the tactics and strengthen cooperation in a team.

Vegetation fire fighting in focus

In recent years, vegetation fires have developed on a pressing topic, which is why the fire brigades in Germany have to adapt their training programs more. In particular, the basics of vegetation fire fighting must be treated profoundly. According to [f2wald.org] (https://en.f2wald.org/waldbrandguide training), intensive training is essential. This not only focuses on operational safety and teamwork, but also on the specific use of the Laces schemas, which enables a structured approach to fire fighting.

An aspect that must not be neglected during the training is to get to know the use of the devices used. This is the only way to efficiently implement firefighters, such as progressive hose shift. Especially with vegetation fires, it is often dynamic layers with constantly ongoing fire front, which requires a flexible and quick reaction.

• At some central aspects of training for vegetation fire fighting, it is particularly pointed out:
• operational safety and application of the Laces schemas are crucial.
• practical exercises for teamwork and testing the equipment are essential.
• The danger spots and local conditions in the alarm and transition area should always be taken into account.
• The analysis of forest and field fires as well as the terrain.

With this well -founded training, the Celle fire brigade is preparing for future challenges. Against the background of the more common and often unpredictable vegetation fires, it is important that the emergency services are well prepared. The common goal remains to protect human life and to preserve nature in the best possible way.
