Dresden Fire Department
Are you ready - For the next challenge?
Join #TeamFeuerwehrDresden!
We are here for you - and would like to win you over! In addition to the integrated regional control center, the Dresden professional fire department performs over 100 functions at our fire and rescue stations every day in order to solve all emergency tasks quickly and professionally. Together with the volunteer fire department and the specialist departments, #TeamFeuerwehrDresden forms a strong community.
In 2022, the fire department, rescue service, civil protection and disaster control teams completed an incredible 179,644 deployments. The number of calls to the integrated regional control center also rose to a record-breaking 755,856 calls. Numerous large fires such as the "sector fire" in the industrial area or the high number of forest and vegetation fires demanded all the resources of the full-time and volunteer firefighters last year. These challenges will continue to require a powerful team in the future. We therefore train young people every year in the volunteer and professional fire departments. The development opportunities are incredibly diverse. Whether in the control center on the emergency telephone, on the fire engine as an attack team or as an emergency paramedic on the ambulance, the foundation for your career at the Dresden fire department is laid during your training. You can also go on to specialize in various areas.
But how do I become a firefighter? What does an emergency paramedic do? And which sports disciplines do I need to be good at? We will be happy to answer all these questions at our stand. Anyone interested can try out the recruitment test and take their application documents home with them. Because: During the trade fair, we will be advertising vacancies for fire officer trainees (m/f/d) and emergency paramedics (m/f/d) for training starting in August/September 2024.
Are you ready to experience the fire and rescue service up close?
You can literally get up close and personal with the activities of the fire and rescue service at our stand. With lots of hands-on activities, anyone interested can take their luck into their own hands and test whether they are ready for a job in the fire and rescue service. Maneuver the spreader with skill through various tasks or solve tricky puzzles on our guessing wall. Have you ever taken a blood sample, treated a bleeding wound or touched a real heart? No problem, you can try this and much more with us and immerse yourself in the world of the Dresden fire department!
Are you ready - for teamwork?
At the Dresden Fire Department, all professional firefighters also have a rescue service qualification. Whether they are paramedics, paramedics or emergency paramedics, everyone knows what to do in an emergency. Every move is perfect and hardly any words are needed, because seconds can sometimes make the difference between life and death. Our trainee fire officers and emergency paramedics learn their trade from the ground up in the team of the fire department's watch departments. It has become a tradition for the young men and women to impressively demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have learned to a large audience at the Florian trade fair. Experience how the emergency services care for patients who have had accidents or rescue emergency personnel in distress during our emergency drills at the trade fair stand. Our motto is: We leave no one alone and return together!
