The Free State of Bavaria supports Bavarian municipalities in the procurement of fire department vehicles and equipment as well as the construction of fire stations with state grants.
In Bavaria, around 320,000 volunteer firefighters in around 7,500 volunteer fire departments in Bavarian towns and municipalities are responsible for fire protection. Seven professional fire departments and over 200 plant and company fire departments also fight against the red tap.
