We found a solution to lower the response time by separating the former “LZ” and dislocating them. Without reducing the operational staff per engine and in general. The Goal Minimum response: – 6 fire fighters within 5 min driving time – additional 2/2 fire fighters within 5 to 10 min driving time depending on the risk – additional 6 fire fighters within 10 min driving time Tactical concept 2020 BF LZ Löschzug Berufsfeuerwehr Stadt Frankfurt am Main Stand: 2005 HLF 1 0 1 2 0 1 5 6 DLK 0 1 1 2 HLF 0 1 5 6 ELW C- Di FüGeh StF Fa TF Fa StF Fa AF AM WF WM AF AM WF WM Planed to be located on new fire stations New Response time in Frankfurt θ /°C CPR limit 17 min Brandtemperatur Toleration limit 13 min C D L+A Zeit t/h Entzündung 3 Action Entstehungsbrand 5 10 flash- over 15 voll entwickelter Brand 20 abklingender Brand Zeit [min] 1 2 3 4 10 Fire & Rescue Stations 10 Nieder-Eschbach 21 Nordwest-Stadt 2009 11 1 BKRZ Enkheim 20 Messe 3 40 2 Hafen 4 Nied Sachsenhausen 30 Flughafen The 10 Nieder-Eschbach Future 21 12 Nordwest-Stadt 11 1 BKRZ stations Enkheim 20 Westerbachstr. 2 40 Messe 31 Silostr.
