German term
Technischer Zug der Werkfeuerwehr
German to English
Other
Other
I'm currently translating a company's emergency response plan to accidents, etc. (British English). The phrase "Technischer Zug der Werkfeuerwehr" comes up a few times and it has the following tasks:
- Undertake an immediate exploration of the scene of the accident or emergency.
- Evaluate the situation and, if necessary, alert further emergency services.
This needs to be differentiated from "Werkfeuerwehr, gesamt", whose task it is to more generally save lives, fight fires and take measures to protect the environment.
If anyone knows of a specific term to refer to firefighters who presumably have particular training to be first on the scene, that would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I really wasn't sure what field this should come under, so apologies in advance if the field needs to be changed.

: but they investigate the scene, they don't explore it.
I don’t really think they appraise the scene, but they may appraise the situation

: A "Technischer Zug" is usually more akin to a heavy rescue squad. But in this context I'd go for the incident response team.

I think you may You have to distinguish between the actual firefighting vehicles
A Löschzug is a pump vehicle
A Wasserzug is a water tender
Technische Zug is an operational support unit (or vehicle, the unit includes the crew)
BTW: The WiPe page quoted below applies only to UK fire brigades equipment
