Firefighters, Medics, and Disaster Heroes of Dresden Unite on International Volunteer Day
Happy International Volunteer Day to the unsung heroes of Dresden, Germany! Over 1,400 firefighters, 550 of whom are on call 24/7, work tirelessly across 21 local fire stations, ensuring the city's daily fire protection. But they're not alone - medical services and disaster response teams are there every step of the way.
These fearless volunteers perform numerous roles, assisting with a multitude of injuries, coordinating evacuations in high-pressure situations like bomb threats, and providing essential supplies. Without these selfless individuals, our city wouldn't function as smoothly as it does, emphasizes Jan Pratzka, Dresden's Mayor of Economics.
