In the GDR, the fire department has been divided into the categories professional fire brigade, duty firefighters and volunteer firefighters. The fire brigade was subordinate not to the municipality but to the Ministry of the Interior.
Volunteer fire department and duty firefighters, however, were subject to the municipalities or the operating lines.
A very extensive description of the Fire and Rescue Service in the former GDR, the vehicle and equipment technology and the use of clothing can be found on the website of Heiko Mehner.
