Fire brigade Hurth

What Fire brigade Hurth does

Feuerwehr Hürth (Fire Brigade Hürth) is the municipal fire department of the City of Hürth in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, formally constituted as Amt 37 – Feuerschutz und Rettungsdienst (Department 37 – Fire Protection and Rescue Services). The organization operates as a government entity fully owned by the Stadt Hürth, with no venture or private ownership interest. Its primary service area is the municipality of Hürth, where it provides fire protection, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, natural disaster response, and emergency medical services (EMS) including ambulance transport. The department's quantified activity base is approximately 1,300+ fire and rescue operations per year and 14,000+ medical rescue operations per year, totaling more than 15,300 emergency operations annually.

The department operates from a single Feuer- und Rettungswache (Fire and Rescue Station) at Luxemburger Straße 450, 50354 Hürth, providing 24/7 rapid response via the integrated German emergency dispatch number 112. It is organized as a dual-function station handling both fire/rescue and ambulance duties under one command structure, led by Amtsleiter (Department Head) Michael Mund under the authority of Mayor Dirk Breuer. Technical capabilities are based on standard German firefighting and rescue equipment, emergency communications systems, and standard EMS technology typical of public-sector fire departments; no proprietary technology or commercial products are disclosed.

The business model is non-commercial: the department is funded by municipal taxes and government budget allocations from the City of Hürth, with no pricing model, no commercial customers, and no disclosed revenue figures. Beyond core emergency response, the department operates two structured training pathways — the 18-month civil servant Brandmeisteranwärter*in (Firefighter Trainee) program and the 3-year vocational Notfallsanitäter*in (Emergency Paramedic) program — supporting its recruitment pipeline. Public communication runs through its official website, a dedicated career portal (karriere.feuerwehr-huerth.de), and Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels. As of the available data, the organization is actively operating and undergoing modernization of both its physical station and web presence.
