Alarm and response coordination
Fire department command posts
The Fire Department command center moved into new rooms in the South Fire Station in October 2002. Five mission coordination stations were set up, two of which are manned around the clock and have almost identical equipment.
Tasks
- Receiving and handling emergency calls, fire department calls (112), damage reports and other messages relevant to the situation, fire protection and technical support in the airport area.
- These include reports through "Alarmstern" (a communication resource serving as a central alarm system for response forces, authorities and specialized units, especially in the event of large-scale damage events at the airport such as aircraft accidents).
- The fire reporting facilities at the airport currently include approximately 50,000 fire alarms, elevator emergency call equipment, personal emergency signal equipment, oil alarms and water main alarms.
- Dispatching of and alarm calls to all fire department vehicles and equipment needed for a situation response in accordance with the alarm and response regulations.
