so oder so beschaffen sei, aber nicht,
dass es nicht anders sein könne.”
(”Certainly, experience tells us the
nature of things, but not how it otherwise
might have been”)

Fire cover
Safety cover:
What needs do the public have when various
types of accidents or incidents occur and
with what kind of help can society contribute
in such situations?
• A shift in focus; from "fire cover" towards "safety cover“
• Differentiated composition of fire and rescue teams
• New, different and differentiated technology;
• Alternative actions, methods and procedures
• Developed command and control functions.
• Analysis based on the help needed
• To create a holistic view on safety to the public and to
approach the problem of providing fire cover from a
broader perspective.
Conclusions
Thank you for your attention!
