Fire Protection and Construction

Under "Downloads" at the bottom of the page, we provide the connection conditions for the installation and operation of fire alarm systems within the jurisdiction of the local fire departments of the Oberberg district with connection to the alarm transmission system (AÜA) of the district control center of the Oberberg district as a PDF document.

Components of Fire Brigades in the Oberbergischer Kreis

• Fire brigade plans are created based on DIN 14095 and approved by the fire protection department after consultation.

• A fire brigade plan must depict all risks and hazards on the premises and in the buildings!

• The planner is required to record the current state of the object. This assumes that they were actually present at and in the object for the plan creation. The fire brigade plan, escape and rescue plan, and the fire brigade routing cards must be sent to the fire protection department as a PDF via email (Brandschutzdienststelle@obk.de).

• These plans must always be kept up-to-date and reviewed by a qualified person at least every two years.

• The object numbers for fire brigade plans are assigned by the fire protection department!

Why Fire Brigade Plans?

Fire brigade plans, escape and rescue plans, as well as fire protection regulations, are essential components of organizational fire protection and can be vital in emergencies. Fire brigades need up-to-date fire brigade plans for quick orientation at the site of operation. These plans can already provide information during the journey to the site, such as the locations of hydrants and the main access to the object.
Furthermore, the fire brigade can find crucial preliminary information about the object in the fire brigade plan.

What Needs to Be Considered!

Building owners and operators are legally required to ensure the correct creation and display of plans. DIN 14095, DIN ISO 23601, ASR A1.3, and ASR A2.3 require that plans be created according to relevant standards and kept up-to-date. Additionally, fire brigade plans must be reviewed by qualified personnel at least every two years.

Legend

The legend is usually located on the right side of the plan.
In exceptional cases, it may be found at the bottom edge.
The legend should only include the symbols used in the plan.

In summary, we provide you with the structure of fire brigade plans as a PDF document. Additionally, the DIN A3 frame is available. You can find both under "Downloads" at the bottom of the page.

A fire alarm system ensures that a fire event in a building is quickly detected and reported to the fire brigade. At the meeting point, the arriving fire brigade needs clear information about where and how the event was detected and which is the fastest route to get there. Due to the many different objects within the fire brigade's area of responsibility, they cannot be sufficiently familiar with all locations. Standardized orientation aids for the fire brigade are therefore required.
The size of the object determines how many sets of route cards are required!

In summary, we provide you with information and examples on the topic of fire brigade route cards as a PDF document. You can find this under "Downloads" at the bottom of the page.

The following documents are available for download at the bottom of the page:

• the Fire Brigade Plan - Written Part as a fillable Word document,

• the Revision Record for fire brigade plans, escape and rescue plans, and fire brigade routing cards as a fillable Word document or as a PDF document.

Despite increasingly modern extinguishing agents and techniques, water remains the most commonly used extinguishing agent employed by firefighters for fire suppression. Water is equally suitable for combating both incipient and large-scale fires.
The prerequisite, of course, is an adequate firefighting water supply.
The extraction of firefighting water is regulated by relevant laws, guidelines, and standards.

Further information about firefighting water ponds and tanks is available in a PDF document under "Downloads" at the bottom of the page.
