Operation Results Showcase Strong Solidarity Among Participants: Donation Fund Established by VdF-NRW

In the aftermath of a tragic incident in Ratingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, the Association of Fire Brigades in NRW (VDF) is expressing a deep sense of solidarity among emergency services. Dr. Jan Heinisch, the chairman of the Association, has been moved by the expressions of concern from fire brigades across the region and beyond.

The incident in Ratingen has affected emergency services personnel in cities and communities throughout North Rhine-Westphalia, as many are familiar with similar deployment situations. René Schubert, the chief fire officer of Ratingen and a member of the board of the state association, explained the impact of the incident.

In response, the Association for Promoting Fire Protection in Ratingen e.V. has established a donation account for injured fire brigade members and their families. Donations are being accepted and inquiries regarding the donation can be directed to Christoph Schoeneborn, the contact person for inquiries. His email address is [email protected], and his telephone number is +49 (01 70) 2 21 80 32.

The donation account can be found at Sparkasse Hilden, Ratingen, Velbert with the account number DE81 3345 0000 0042 1116 74. The Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e.V. can be reached at Windhukstraße 80, 42277 Wuppertal.

The mood among the fire brigades in North Rhine-Westphalia is somber, with thoughts and wishes going out to those injured in the incident in Ratingen. The Association is emphasizing the unity among emergency services personnel throughout the state in the face of the dire situation.

Protection of emergency services personnel from violence is virtually impossible in some situations, including ambushes that cannot be protected from. However, the current focus of fire brigades throughout North Rhine-Westphalia is not on tactical deployment considerations, but rather on those fighting for their lives after the incident in Ratingen.

The Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e.V. would like to thank everyone for the many expressions of solidarity and get-well wishes for the Ratingen emergency services personnel.
