SCANDAL in Stuttgart: Fire stations on the verge of ruin!
Stuttgart is on the brink of chaos! The alarming situation of fire stations in the city is turning into a catastrophic disaster that every citizen should urgently take note of. Stuttgarter Nachrichten reported that countless fire stations urgently need to be renovated or even completely rebuilt. But when we think about the depressing financial situation of the city of Stuttgart, it feels like we are in a never-ending nightmare!
At a time when hundreds of millions of euros need to be saved in various areas, the fire stations are the tragic victim of this short-sighted austerity policy! The city is financially exhausted, and while daycare centers and schools are struggling to survive, the fire department and its outdated, majestic buildings don't have the slightest prospect of improvement. Some of the buildings are so old that they date back to an era when the fire department still came out on horseback. What a frightening picture!
The SENSATIONAL grievances
In Botnang the conditions for the fire department are simply DEZASTROUGH! Mold, too little space and defective sanitary facilities paint a horrifying picture. However, the shock doesn't stop there! A catastrophic water leak in February has made the situation in the building so bad that it is uninhabitable. What else is needed for the city to finally act?
- Schimmel und Gesundheitsgefahr: Fast wie ein Horrorszenario! Feuerwehrleute, die in einem Schimmelparadies arbeiten müssen.
- Defekte sanitäre Anlagen: Die Hygiene wird in Frage gestellt!
- Platzmangel: Keine Raum für effektives Arbeiten und Ausbildungen.
Fire chief Georg Belge sounds the alarm! He urgently supports the necessary projects for the volunteers and sees the urgency of the renovation as ESSENTIAL. Behind closed doors there are warnings that costs will explode if the buildings continue to be neglected.
The SHOCKING financial situation
The city is in financial difficulties, which is why the fire department is not spared from the drastic savings. It is estimated that at least half a BILLION euros will be needed to tackle the most urgent renovation and new construction projects. The new fire station 5 in Möhringen is finished, but major projects such as the new construction of station 3 in Bad Cannstatt are still pending! And what about the volunteer fire departments? You could be next on the crosslist!
As can be seen from a shocking investment backlog, the KfW Municipal Panel 2024 states that there is an incredible backlog of 16.3 billion euros in cities and municipalities in the Federal Republic of Germany! Fire stations, which often date back to the 1960s and 1970s, are no longer suitable as the only refuge for emergency services and endanger health.
- Rutsch- und Stolpergefahren: Alarmierende Risikofaktoren sind allgegenwärtig.
- Kontaminationsgefahr: Gefahrstoffe könnten ohne Hygiene-Management in einem Chaos enden!
- Überfahr-Gefahr: Einsatzkräfte laufen Gefahr, unter den Rädern der ausrückenden Fahrzeuge zu landen.
In September, Mayor Frank Nopper will travel to the city districts to speak to concerned citizens. Botnang in particular will be a burning topic here. The question is: Will the city finally take the necessary steps to improve this deplorable and dangerous situation? Citizens must not endure any more terrible news!
In summary, the situation is absolutely devastating. Stuttgart must act immediately to ensure the safety of its firefighters and to get the dilapidated buildings under control. Because if not now, then when? The clock keeps ticking!
