Firefighters erected warning signs to ensure fire prevention and ensure public safety across the county.

The Fire Department Action Week, a key pillar of safety in Bavaria, is set to take place annually across various municipalities within the association area. This week-long event is not limited to specific fire departments but involves the participation and support of multiple organisations, including the police, emergency services, municipalities, and the Technical Relief Agency, as well as district administration.

State Secretary Tanja Schweiger emphasises the importance of the Fire Department Action Week, praising the constant readiness of firefighters in ensuring the safety of citizens across the district. During this week, well-trained deployment forces will be readily available throughout Bavaria, showcasing the effective collaboration between fire departments, emergency services, police, and other partners.

The specific locations and times for these exercises can be found on the website https://kfv-regensburg.feuerwehren.bayern/. These deployment exercises, which occur in various municipalities, serve to strengthen the cooperation of fire departments in Bavaria. The public is welcome to observe these exercises, but active participation is not planned.

District fire chiefs are responsible for ensuring each fire department holds at least one large-scale deployment exercise per year, usually during the action week. Fire departments in Bavaria continuously train and prepare for emergencies through these exercises. The Fire Department Action Week aims to demonstrate the diversity and importance of firefighting work, as well as the crucial role it plays in Bavaria's safety structure.

The Fire Department Action Week is supported by various entities beyond just the fire departments. It continues to receive support from the police, emergency organisations, the Technical Relief Agency, municipalities, and district administration. This collaborative event underscores the importance of joint efforts in ensuring the safety and security of Bavaria's citizens.
