Lülf+   Experts for Fire Brigades and Fire Protection

Core competencies and customers

We understand: Planning of Fire Brigades is not just pure math. Needs and appropriate equipment for a fire brigade cannot be calculated by using a simple formula. Of course, precise analyzes form the basis of every Requirements Planning. But also a high level of creativity is needed. And, last but not least, a competant moderation between the various interests in the tensions between safety, quality and profitability is essential.

Industrial Fire Brigades and Operational Emergency Management for companies and institutions

Various forms of operational emergency response have been established: From Fire Protection Assistants and scouts for supporting Public Fire Brigades up to independent Industrial Fire Brigades. With our expertise we accompany the entire process of Operational Emergency Response Planning. We investigate whether and in what form Operational Emergency Response Systems are necessary, we design and ramp-up Industrial Fire Brigades, and we can optimize the organizational structure and process organization.

Typical questions for our consulting can be:

• Is an Industrial Fire Brigade necessary?
• Which hazards / risks are important for the Fire Brigade?
• Is the actual Industrial Fire Brigade fitting the requirements?
• Is the staffing correctly? Is the technical equipment – trucks and buildings for the Fire Brigade – suitable?
• How will the requirements develop in the future? And what is the future need for a fire Brigade (personnel, vehicles, buildings)? 
• Is the organization optimized? Are synergies with other companies / locations or other site services possible?

In addition to the perspecitve of the authorities (on a basis of law and code) we can expand the analyzes: Are operational interests like reduced risks of business interruption or special demands on work safety for the purpose of employee welfare covered? Or are there additional requirements for the Operational Emergency Response System?

Within the scope of our projects we are not only accompanying our customers with creating the Requirements Planning documents. But we are also experienced in practical implementation of the concept and the necessary Change Management.

Public / Municipal Requirement Planning 

Within the scope of Requirement Planning, we analyse the performance of the Fire Brigade and develop concrete measures that result in an Requirement Plan. The Requirement Plan defines both: The basis for planning (indicators for the performance) and the necessary design of the municipal Fire Brigade to achieve the defined target.

In the public sector - as every else - getting the best minds is one of the hardest challenges. Filling all positions with qualified personnel is unfortunately something we can't guarantee either. But what we can help you to develop a framework in which a good working atmosphere can flourish.

The entire organization of professional Fire Brigades, the performance in workshops of Fire Stations or the personnel requirements of Control Centers: We focus and analyse all these areas as part of our organizational consulting.
