Safety

The USAG Ansbach FES is hosting a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.”

E-Scooters were finally authorized for use on German roads. Important rules apply for riding an e-scooter on German roads.

The collaboration between the U.S. Army and the host nation fire departments in Franconia has a long tradition. During the night of April 28, host nation authorities called upon the USAG Ansbach fire department when a major fire broke out in a recycling plant in the city of Rothenburg o. d. Tauber.

Wildlife crosses roads mostly in the evening and early morning hours, often close to stretches of forests and fields. They do not understand the speed of a vehicle and will not wait for a car to pass before they try to cross the road.

Inclement weather phenomena like snow, ice, rain and fog are part of the fall and winter season in Southern Germany. Making sure community members are safe to navigate roads and walkways is a main concern for USAG Ansbach.
