The Ratingen Fire Department has engaged in both international operational support and internal personnel development.

In early August 2026, three members of the department returned to Germany following a two-day deployment in Spain. Upon their return, the GFFF-V module team began inspecting and repairing the tank fire-truck used during the mission to restore operational readiness.

Later in the month, the department celebrated the graduation of two trainees, Aileen Stöcker and Lucius Hanne, from their three-year paramedic training at the Fire and Rescue Service Academy in Bocholt. Stöcker is set to serve as a member of an ambulance crew within the Ratingen Fire Department.
