Training

To become a voluntary firefighter, new members have to attend a basic course. This course usually takes 90 hours of training and ends with a final exam. After the basic course, there are several possibilities for further education. Moreover, most firefighters attend trainings for handling breathing apparatus and radio, which is part of the extended basic course or specialty trainings for technical rescue, hazardous materials response, vehicle extrication and leadership.

Each year there are at least ten internal trainings and several collaboration trainings with other fire departments and rescue organizations, like Red Cross or mountain rescue service.
