Not good news for the Berlin fire brigade, but the right conclusions have been drawn from it.
Case 1: Two firefighters were electrocuted while attempting to charge their body cams. The employees reported the problem, the authorities also informed the police, and all devices were confiscated. To protect everyone. That was quick and responsible action!
Case 2: One of the chiefs of the volunteer fire brigade in Friedrichshain is said to have discriminated against comrades because of their origin. Here, too, the employees reported the problem – the top authorities reacted and acted – to protect everyone.
Two cases that show firefighters tackle problems when they arise. She should also show this speed when it comes to the operational load in the rescue service.
