The case summarized: The Norwegian Fire Professional National Association (NBLF) believes that the fire and rescue service in Norway, which consists of 194 different units, is not rigged for cooperation across municipalities and regions for major incidents. NBLF proposes to change this by establishing twelve regional fire and rescue services, which they believe will improve emergency preparedness and security. In a letter to the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Management, NBLF warns that the fire and rescue services are not prepared for its role in the total defense. The Ministry of Justice and Emergency Management says that it is not relevant to look at the possibility of twelve regional fire and rescue services in Norway now, as they believe fire and rescue should still be a municipal responsibility. NBLF emphasizes that there is no talk of centralizing the fire department, but to prepare the fire department to safeguard its role in the total defense. The summary is made by a Ki service from Openai. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publishing. In Norway, the local fire department is organized in almost 200 municipal fire and rescue services. It provides just as many leaders. – It makes the collaboration very difficult with really big and serious incidents, says Anders L\u00f8berg, who heads the Norwegian Fire Professional National Association (NBLF). He himself has experience from major crises. He led the fire and rescue work as fire chief in \u00d8vre Romerike during the landslide accident at Gjerdrum on December 30, 2020. He also participated in the rescue work on Ut\u00f8ya 22 July 2011. Now he believes it is absolutely necessary to reorganize the fire department to meet today’s security policy situation. – The fire department is not rigged for crises and wars, he says. In addition to being a leader in NBLF, Anders L\u00f8berg is fire and rescue chief in Asker and B\u00e6rum fire and rescue.

The Norwegian Fire Professional National Association will introduce a regional fire department. They believe today’s organization of the Fire and Rescue Service goes beyond the emergency and safety. – If the Directorate for Social Security and Preparedness is to be able to deliver on its coordination role and cooperate against the Armed Forces and other emergency services, then it is very complicated for them to coordinate and coordinate all the fire chiefs, says L\u00f8berg. Want twelve regional offices Today there are 11 home defense districts, 20 civil defense districts and 12 police districts. They will cooperate with all the fire districts.

Graphics: DSB L\u00f8berg believes that the fire and rescue service must be divided as the police districts and today’s 110 centers so that it will be easier to coordinate and coordinate with major incidents, crises and wars.- If we are to put on the right resources with accurate knowledge and expertise, we believe that there should be a maximum of twelve fire and rescue services in Norway. He fears today’s practice may cause those in major events to fail to solve their mission in the best possible way. – Then in the extreme consequence life can be lost, says L\u00f8berg. Not relevant now in a letter to the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Management, NBLF warns that the fire and rescue services are not prepared for its role in the total defense. “Today, no one safeguards the role of the fire and rescue services in national initiatives and projects about the development of total preparedness and the total defense,” they write. What is the total defense? The total defense is a name for cooperation between the military and civilians in Norway that will protect the country from crises, conflicts and war The purpose of the total defense is for society in all types of crises to maintain a functioning national crisis management, handle many injured, secure food, water and energy supply and communications and transport systems. The Directorate for Social Security and Preparedness and Store Norwegian lexicon and a regional fire department are highlighted as a measure that will make them more prepared for this role. Twelve regional fire and rescue services in Norway are not relevant now, says the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Management. – It is because we believe it is right that fire and rescue are still a municipal responsibility. The local anchorage it entails is important, says State Secretary Kristine Joy Nordenson Kallset (Ap). The Directorate for Social Security and Preparedness is subject to the Ministry of Justice and Emergency.

L\u00f8berg emphasizes that there is no talk of centralizing the fire department. They believe the fire department must still be municipal, not state. – We are not talking about centralization, but professionalization with regional and national governance and support resources. He refers to the fire department’s response time requirements. – The requirement that we must be able to move out in a short time, indicates that we must always be locally rooted. At the same time, we must be prepared and establish a system that enables us to safeguard our role in the total defense. Get support some of those who agree with the proposal for a regional fire department is Hanne Garder, head of the Norwegian Total Defense Forum. – We think it is an optimal way of thinking about preparedness, that you have the same districts, she says. Hanne Garder is the leader of the Norwegian Total Defense Forum and supports NBLF in a regional fire department. Photo: Marit Sirum-EKRE \/ news Garder points out that even though some municipalities in the fire department have entered into cooperation, it will not be quite the same. – There are many benefits to establishing themselves in that way, and not least to the other agencies, that they are more grippable, she says. She understands that they want bigger and better professional environments. – This is how they can work together on purchasing and for example on the use of crews, she adds.
