Fire service requirements planning is a multi‑stage and continuous process used to derive the necessary measures for needs‑based optimisation and reliable planning of the fire service structure, involving the fire service, political decision-makers, and the public administration.
In most federal states, the obligation to prepare and regularly update a fire service requirements plan is established by law. Consequently, “fire service” is to be understood as a municipal responsibility and an essential public service task of the local authority.
The definition of planning principles (“objectives”) follows a multi-stage planning procedure and distinguishes between risk‑based and provision‑based assessment criteria.
A comparison of the target and actual conditions reveals identified resource and/or service gaps. These are consolidated into an action plan covering locations, personnel, equipment, and organisational measures and are further developed through multi-stage discussion processes. Throughout this process, all aspects of cost‑effectiveness on the one hand and safety on the other must be taken into account and carefully balanced.
