A strong team for safety
Personnel and main tasks
At Stuttgart Airport Fire Department, 126 full-time firefighters currently ensure that the wide range of tasks are reliably fulfilled around the clock. 2 watch shifts ensure the service operation - from fire protection to technical assistance and rescue services.
The fire station at Stuttgart Airport has been at its current location since 1995 - directly opposite the tower and roughly in the middle of the runway. From there, the emergency services can reach every corner of the extensive airport grounds in the shortest possible time.
The airport fire department's fleet of vehicles is versatile - from compact emergency vehicles and turntable ladders to fire engines weighing several tons. Rescue vehicles are also part of the fleet.
The rescue service is one of the most important tasks of the airport fire department. Every day, many people are on the move at Stuttgart Airport - in the event of medical emergencies, the paramedics provide rapid assistance on site.
