Hazard defence is a top priority
The update of the existing requirements plan serves to ensure an efficient fire service for Beckum. In what time should the fire brigade be at the scene? How many personnel are required? The expert opinion prepared by an external office is the benchmark for the quality of emergency response to be provided, analyses the current situation and defines the future criteria and requirements.
The investigation revealed that the Beckum fire brigade should always have a squadron staffed with full-time personnel (6 functions) around the clock. To this end, 11 additional positions will be created and gradually filled from 2026. The 139-page document also includes a vehicle concept and a location analysis. According to this, a new location for the district of Beckum is to be realised in the medium term. As we know, the town of Beckum is already well on the way to realising this: the fire brigade will be given a modern and future-proof new building on the former Renfert site, which is due to be occupied in 2030.
There was also unanimity on all other items on the agenda.
