European day of the emergency call on February 11th: The importance of emergency number 112 across Europe
On Sunday, February 11th, the European day of the emergency call is celebrated across Europe. This day serves to increase the general awareness of the free emergency number 112. In Berlin and all over Europe, 112 stands for quick and reliable help in emergencies. Regardless of whether it is a medical emergency, a fire or an accident, the 112 is the uniform wire for qualified help.
There are around 8,000 firefighters in Berlin itself who work in professional and volunteer fire brigades as well as in youth and work fire brigades. These committed men and women work in around the clock of fire stations and equipment houses to offer quick help to Berlin citizens in emergencies.The airports Tegel and Schönefeld as well as the Berlin Central Station have their own emergency call centers that receive calls in emergencies and send the corresponding rescue workers. The 112 can also be selected from all mobile phone networks and leads to the responsible emergency center.
in Berlin, the fire brigade is not only responsible for fire fighting, but also for technical assistance and the rescue of people and animals from emergency situations. In addition, the Berlin fire brigade participates in prevention work, such as informative events and training for the population.
The fire brigade in the capital is therefore an important institution that ensures the security and well -being of the citizens. The German Fire Brigade Association (DFV) as a specialist association at the federal level supports the fire brigades on site and bundles their interests.
The European Day of the emergency call should not only make the uniform number 112 better known, but also appreciate the work of the fire brigades and sensitize the population to the topic of emergency provision.
historical facts about the development and introduction of emergency calls in Germany and in Europe could be an interesting addition in this context. A table with information about the number of firefighters and fire guards in Berlin as well as the average number of emergency calls per day or week could also enrich the article.
