==About Munich Fire Department==
The Munich Fire Department is divided in a professional department consisting of ten fire stations in the whole city and 22 volunteer fire companies. They are all organized together in the "Branddirektion", the fire-protection authority of the Bavarian state capital, Munich. A total of 1,760 professional firefighters are active for the "Berufsfeuerwehr" and are supplemented by 850 volunteer firefighters.
The professional Fire Department takes over the bulk of incoming calls for service. The Munich FD responds to approximately 80,000 calls each year, most of them are medical calls (55,000) as well as 21,000 technical calls (MVA, helpless persons, HazMat and other) and 5,000 fire calls (automatic fire alarms, structure fires and outside burnings).

=== Munich Volunteer Fire Department ===
==== Purpose of the VFD ====
In Germany, it is standard practice to supplement full-time city fire departments with volunteer fire companies. If the paid firefighters are fully occupied, volunteers will take over further alarms. For some responses (structure fires for example), a volunteer company will often respond with full-time crews for relief and to ensure sufficient staffing. Near the city limits, full-time stations are often not feasible, so volunteer stations respond independently.
==== Divisions ====
===== Abteilung Stadtmitte =====
The "Downtown Division" is stationned together with the professional firefighters at Station 4 in the Hessstrasse. The Division is responsible for the whole downtown area as a support unit for the full-time fire department. Furthermore, as a special task, they are the first unit for ABC/HazMat-Response in Munich. 
===== North Division =====
* Abteilung Feldmoching
* Abteilung Harthof
* Abteilung Freimann
* Abteilung Oberföhring
