Fire protection

The fire department advises on preventive fire protection, fire protection at events, fire alarm systems, fire service access routes and fire service plans.

Description

The Munich Fire Department advises on all aspects of preventive fire protection: it carries out fire inspections and advises in advance on events, fire alarm systems, fire service access routes and fire service plans.

In addition, the fire department is regularly involved in the approval process for new builds, conversions and changes of use in matters of preventative structural fire protection.

The Fire Department offers the following services:

  • Fee-based advice for building owners, architects, property managers, specialist planners and others on the basis of planning documents or, in individual cases, directly on site.

  • Expert opinions on the entire construction project for the building permit authorities (local building commission, Department of Health and Environment, Federal Railway Authority, State Building Authority, Government of Upper Bavaria).

  • Statements as part of the hearing of the fire brigade in accordance with §19 PrüfVBau.

  • Statements on special problems of structural and organisational fire protection as a fire protection agency.

  • Advising the operator of a plant in accordance with BImSchG on the economic and realistic implementation of a safety concept (e.g. hazardous incident plants).

You can find your contact for fire protection planning for conversions based on the type of building. The city district does not play a role in the responsibility. The aim is for the supervision of a building to be in the hands of one person. The decisive factor for responsibility is not the part of the building that you want to convert, but whether the building as a whole is a special building. For example, if it is a loft conversion above a sales outlet, the sales outlet department is responsible. You can find all contact persons and the order for consulting services for download under further links on the fire protection planning website.

The contact persons and further information in all other areas can be found via the links on the Preventive Fire Protection website.
