How does training for professional firefighters, which includes fire service and rescue services, work in other federal states?
In a SWR documentary about the only fire service ambulance in all of Baden-Württemberg, at Fire Station 5 of the Stuttgart Fire Department, it was stated that the paramedics on this fire service ambulance first completed three years of professional fire service training and then another three years of emergency paramedic training . https://youtu.be/B7t6gwJ6Geg?feature=shared. What I'm wondering now is, how does the training for the professional fire service work in other federal states where fire service ambulances are standard?

Hi.
If you want to severely break it down either “just like that” or “very different (NFS training before career training) – the latter is somewhat more common in my opinion.
At the end of the day the professional firefighter always needs Career training for firefighting and the responsible person on the RTW always Training for emergency medical. This limits the possibilities for combinations quite a 😉
In most of the federal states, the qualification as a rescue instructor (520-hour course) is also integrated into career training.
Otherwise there is also the possibility excl. to be used as an emergency medical officer in the rescue service of a professional fire brigade, but then as an employee, not as an official. Career training is dispensed with in this case.

Thanks for the star!
Well, there are more possibilities than to train either the fire department part or the rescue service part first. All professional firefighters I know, but first make the firefighting part and then the NFS. Of course I don’t know all of them and it may be different. In my knowledge, there is no nationwide provision for this.
That’s the same.
A RTW is occupied (in most federal states) with an emergency medical device and an emergency medical device. The training as an ambulance instructor is part of the training as a professional firefighter in many professional firefighters, since this is more like a course than a profession.
The emergency instructor is a training profession that you have to learn accordingly and that is also the case in other firefighters.
In some cases, even their own posts are created for the emergency medical mail, and here not even an official from the fire department must sit on the passenger’s seat and only the emergency medical officer as a driver is placed out of the pool of officials.
