Why found with the association?
Founding a new service raises many questions – from the legal form through equipment to cooperation with authorities. Within the association you do not have to answer these questions alone: 15 rescue services share their experience from many years of operational practice.
Proven standards instead of trial and error: training, equipment and operational procedures to the established association standard.
A direct line to experienced services: mentoring by existing rescue services near you.
Recognition from the outset: as part of the umbrella association you present yourself to authorities and the public as a qualified service.
Good to know
Founding support is the first step towards membership: newly founded services can become members of the Bundesverband once they are successfully established.
