Fire Brigades Advance Vehicle Plans, Station Renovation and New Leadership After 2025 Reports

After a demanding 2025, brigades shift from review to implementation this spring.

Overview

  • Eitting logged 92 deployments and about 4,400 total service hours in 2025 and will soon file a formal request for a TLF 3000, with the mayor signaling detailed planning in 2027 and completion not expected before 2030.
  • Schlehdorf will begin renovating its fire station in April or May, a two to three month project partially financed by a Bavarian state subsidy.
  • Schlehdorf is evaluating replacement of its 34‑year‑old engine with an LF20, which would require an EU‑wide tender if ordered late 2026 and could arrive in roughly two years.
  • Since 1 January 2026, Räumfeuer must be reported online to ease the dispatch center, a change discussed locally due to weak mobile reception in some areas.
  • Schwaförden elected Andre Hillmann as the new local fire chief, following a year with 23 callouts and two large community events requiring extensive planning.
