Feuerschutzpolizei
(
lit.
'Fire Protection Police') was a
firefighter
unit in
Germany
during WW2
and a branch of Germany's
Ordnungspolizei
, formed in 1938 when the German municipal professional fire brigades were transferred to the national police. The previously red fire vehicles, blue uniforms and fire service ranks were replaced by green fire vehicles, green uniforms and police ranks
During the war, the Feuerschutzpolizei organized six motorized firefighting regiments. Their mission was to follow the German army's advance and have the main responsibility for the occupied territories fire protection and civil defense. Each regiment consisted of some 1000 firefighters.
In 1943 the regimental organization was abolished, the battalions becoming independent units. The fourth regiment was stood down, while nine battalions were formed from the rest. Each battalion consisted of about 400 fire fighters in three companies.
A fourth company of non-citizens (
Volksdeutsche
,
Ukrainians
and
Poles
), were later added.
