When burglars cripple the fire service: Why critical infrastructure needs better protection

A recent incident in Lauenburg highlights just how serious a break-in at critical infrastructure can be: unknown perpetrators broke into a fire station, stole specialist tools and rendered emergency vehicles unusable by spilling fire-extinguishing powder.

The result: the entire fire brigade was temporarily out of action.

What many people underestimate is that an attack on the fire service is not just a case of criminal damage – it directly endangers people’s safety.

Fire stations, municipal depots and local authority facilities in particular are increasingly being targeted by professional criminals. High-value equipment, often inadequately protected, makes such premises particularly attractive.

Our recommendation:

• Intruder alarm systems

• CCTV

• Access control

• 24/7 connection to a control centre
