Vocational Training Expansion: Direct Path from School to Fire Department
The Bremen Fire Department is set to launch a new training program, the "IHK Industrial Firefighter (m/f/d)", starting in the summer of 2026. This three-year program, divided into two dual phases, will provide an opportunity for individuals to transition directly from school into professional firefighter training.
The first 18-month phase will focus on vocational training in electrical engineering, woodworking, sanitation, and metal construction. This phase will take place at a vocational school, preparing trainees for the practical aspects of industrial firefighting.
The second 18-month phase will be conducted at the Bremen Fire Academy, where trainees will undergo the established training for fire brigade officers. Upon successful completion of this program, trainees will qualify for the career path in the second entry level of the firefighting specialist group.
The Bremen Fire Department has a strong online presence, with a website (https://www.feuerwehr.bremen.de), YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@feuerwehrbremen8097), Twitter account (https://twitter.com/FeuerwehrHB), and Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/feuerwehr.bremen).

This new training program is a significant step forward for the Bremen Fire Department, further enhancing their ability to protect the city and its residents from industrial fires.
