Services
Fire safety education
As part of our legal mandate, we offer support for fire safety education.
Due to the high volume of requests and our ongoing operations, this service is generally limited to kindergartens and schools within the Mainz city limits.
Our fire safety educators provide educators and teachers with guidance and recommendations on planning and conducting fire safety education.
We also provide kits containing materials for fire safety education. Additionally, as a conclusion to the fire safety education program, there is the option to arrange a tour of one of the two fire stations with the kindergarten group or school class.
Appointments for a visit to the fire station can be made using the form below. Visiting hours are listed in the form.
Appointments should be scheduled well in advance (usually at least 6 weeks).
The fire safety education and the tour are free of charge.
Fire extinguisher
Fire extinguishers can generally only be purchased from specialty retailers. The same applies to the maintenance of fire extinguishers.
Neither of these services can be provided by the fire department.
If you find any objects that might be explosive ordnance (bombs, grenades, or other ammunition), please notify the fire department or police immediately.
To avoid endangering yourself or others, please keep a safe distance from the object!

Time and again, objects in stairwells and hallways cause trouble. Although these areas are common areas and may be used by all tenants and homeowners, there are certain restrictions on their intended use. Stairwells and corridors not only serve the purpose of enabling residents to get to their apartments, the stairwell is also the first escape and rescue route!

Fire hazards in buildings should be avoided as far as possible in advance, because prevention is better than extinguishing. Due to their type, use, location or condition, buildings with a "public character" in particular can endanger general safety in the event of damage. For this reason, we carry out inspections of buildings at regular intervals.
- Leaflet: Site plan signPDF-File274,64 kB
In the case of buildings with a complex design and complex properties, it is often not possible for the emergency services to immediately find a place to set up a ladder or access the building, as its location and route are not clearly visible from the outside. A site plan sign provides orientation and helps the fire department to directly identify the local features so that they can reach the scene quickly.
