The professional fire brigade deployed a total of 1,703 to fire operations in 2023. The number of fire operations has remained roughly the same in recent years. This emerges from the annual report presented today.

Sharp increase in disaster operations
The most striking difference is in disaster operations, which increased from 0 in 2022 to 353 in 2023. This is due to the many extreme weather situations, such as storms, heavy rain or the unusually intense snowfall in December. At that time, more than 200 snow pressure missions were necessary within twelve hours. “Despite many challenges, we were always there and, with great commitment and skill, we saved lives and minimized property damage,” says fire director Stefan Krausbar.
