Fire protection begins long before the first fire
How does safety arise before a fire can even break out? This question is addressed in the presentation We Have Been Involved from the Very Beginning – The Preventive Fire Protection of the Professional Fire Brigade Braunschweig on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the Municipal Museum Braunschweig. Fire Chief Bernd Matthias Uster provides insights into a field of work that begins with city planning in the Small Dornse of the Old Town Hall.
When fire protection is considered in the planning stage
The Professional Fire Brigade Braunschweig is involved early on when new districts are planned, development plans are drawn up, or building applications are prepared. The presentation shows what professional assessments play a role in this process and how fire protection concepts shape the safety of buildings and their surroundings.
From building permits to building inspections
Preventive fire protection encompasses much more than visible emergency vehicles. Central to this is the planning, construction, and commissioning of technical fire protection measures, as well as inspections and controls of buildings. The event experience combines expert knowledge with illustrative insights into the organization and daily event management of safety-relevant processes.
Even after a fire damage, the work remains important
The tasks extend to the evaluation of fire incidents. Together with the Braunschweig Police Department, the team examines fire damage from the perspective of preventive fire protection. This reveals how insights from past operations flow into event planning, building inspections, and safety work.
Lecture as part of the fire department exhibition
The event takes place as part of the exhibition 150 Years of Professional Fire Brigade Braunschweig. Selected exhibits provide a multifaceted look back at the history of the fire brigade in the museum. The calm atmosphere of the historical Small Dornse creates a suitable setting for an informative afternoon with a regional reference.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect a compact, professionally sound lecture about the many steps that precede visible fire brigade operations. Those who want to understand how fire protection in Braunschweig is organized from city planning to the follow-up of a fire incident will experience an enlightening afternoon here. Admission is free.
