The Landesfeuerwehrschule Baden-Württemberg (LFS) is the central training and further education center for firefighters in Baden-Württemberg. Based in Bruchsal, it offers a comprehensive specialist program for hazard prevention, operational doctrine and leadership skills, which is specifically aimed at firefighters of all career levels. Its core task is the practical transfer of knowledge through seminars, courses and exercises that are based on real operational scenarios - from flood situations to building collapses[1][5].
The LFS sees itself as a competence center for lifelong learning that combines theory and practice. A particular focus is on crisis-resilient solutions, for example through seminars on the evaluation of flood warning systems (FLIWAS) or training on intercultural operational management[1][3]. Digital education concepts such as online training courses for respiratory protection instructors complement the portfolio[1].
The new building from 2017 comprises four functional areas: workshops, training rooms, a training hall and logistics units. The facility employs 96 people, including 41 instructors, and supports over 1,100 fire departments throughout the state with vehicle procurement and standardization[3][5].
The LFS is driving forward the digitalization of hazard prevention - for example through revised training documents on Digitalfunk BOS in the state's new corporate design[1]. It also publishes award guidelines for fire engines, which ensure procurement processes that comply with European law and promote sustainable investments[5].
