The district town of Hofheim am Taunus maintains a fire department in all Hofheim districts to protect its citizens. It does this in the certainty that the rapid and qualified assistance it provides will also improve the quality of life in Hofheim. The fire and civil protection department within the city administration supports the fire departments in their work. This is done by nine full-time employees, who are also volunteer firefighters and go out to Hofheim's fire department operations. Their task is to maintain the equipment and carry out smaller operations.
In the event of imminent danger or after the occurrence of a damaging event, it is very important to warn the population quickly.

Fire departments in the districts and the city center
Fire departments are responsible for preventive and defensive fire, disaster and civil protection as well as technical assistance. They also support neighboring fire departments in the event of major operations.
The equipment depends on the respective main hazards (e.g. industrial area, forest, highway). In addition, there are fire protection training courses for companies, businesses, authorities and schools, among others, as well as general assistance and hazard prevention.
A total of around 336 men and women are actively involved in the Hofheim fire departments. They all work voluntarily and on a voluntary basis for their fellow citizens and are alerted to deployments via a 'beeper'.
The members of the fire department receive no compensation for exercises and deployments and help according to the principle of "one for all - all for one". In all districts and the city center, the work of the fire department is supported by a sponsoring association.
