In North Rhine-Westphalia, the volunteer fire brigade, with approximately 80,000 volunteer members, is a supporting pillar in the area of hazard prevention. This also applies to the Bocholt fire brigade, which maintains a volunteer fire brigade.
The increasing variety of tasks on the one hand and social changes on the other make the fulfilment of these compulsory tasks, especially in the voluntary sector, very demanding.
In order to actively deal with the various topics of the fire brigade, an advisory board was founded as an advisory body. The aim of the advisory board of the Bocholt fire brigade is to provide support in answering questions about the future. The advisory board also aims to promote social networking within the city of Bocholt.
Members of the advisory board are people from the economy, health care, science, schools, banks, business development and the city administration.
