context_page_description: The Munich Fire Department is the firefighting authority of the City of Munich. The Munich fire department is divided into a professional department with approximately 1500 fire fighters staffing a total of 10 fire stations located strategically throughout the city to meet the legal aid period of 10 Minutes, and a volunteer fire department, whose approximately 1,050 members are organized in 22 companies. Each year, the Munich Fire Department responds to about 80,000 calls. The volunteers respond to about 3,500 calls annually. This makes the Munich Fire Department the third largest fire department as well as the largest municipal fire department in Germany.
context_section_description: Fire station 5 (48.12151°N 11.61223°E) of Ramersdorf in the east of Munich was inaugurated in December 1951 and two years later an extension was added to house the vehicle repair shop, which was moved during the construction to Neuperlach. Also, in 1953, an exercise diving tank was built and in 1964 a respiratory workshop was established in Ramersdorf.
  The fire station Ramersdorf is the seat of the technical maintenance department and electrical installations, which carry out construction work on the fire stations and houses of the Munich fire department, and the department of extinguishing water supply. This controls all public fire extinguishing water outlets in Munich, as well as dry fire water pipes in U-Bahn and S-Bahn systems and larger structures.
  All metrological, medical and respiratory equipment procured by the fire department have been tested and selected in Ramersdorf. In addition, emergency medical and rescue vehicles are disinfected here. Another special feature of this fire station is the overpressure treatment chamber located there, a diver relay which can be brought via helicopters for use, since the sports field belonging to the station is also used as a heliport. As part of the large-scale restructuring and modernization of the Munich Fire Department, the second Civil Protection Center in Munich (next to the new FW 4) is to be built in Ramersdorf.
  In addition to the mandatory fire engine in Ramersdorf also a large-capacity ambulance, a rescue vehicle, a water rescue equipment vehicle, a respiratory equipment/radiation protection vehicle, an aerial ladder with basket 12/9, an infect rescue vehicle, various cars and trucks for the affiliated workshops, as well as the pressure chamber are housed. In addition, the colleagues with disinfector training are stationed here, to which are also alerted by certain key words, and are responsible for questions relating to hygiene and infectious diseases. The station is also assigned an emergency ambulance vehicle, which is located in Ottobrunn in the fire station of the volunteer fire department. The NEF in the Bogenhausen hospital is occupied alternately with the fire station 8.
  In addition, an ambulance from the Aicher Union ambulance (occupied daily 8:00 am to 12:00 pm) is stationed at the Fire Station 5.
