Fire department warning
The 86th Airlift Wing’s security forces are aware of a rumor about people posing as German firefighters attempting to gain access to off-base homes in the KMC using the pretext of smoke detector inspections. Once inside the home, the individuals fake an injury or mishap in an attempt to sue the tenant or landlord for injuries. While German Polizei and security forces haven’t received any actual reports, KMC residents should remain cautious about admitting unknown people into their homes.
Under the German landlord-tenant laws, it’s mandatory to maintain smoke detectors. However, this process is handled through the real estate office or tenant’s landlord. To be safe, verify appointments with landlords and ask for official identification at the scheduled appointment.
If you have concerns about individuals asking to enter your off-base residence, contact the 569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron at 0631-536-6060.
Action required after accident
The 569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron responds to all off-base incidents involving an American within 1,100 square miles of Kaiserslautern. All traffic accidents, major or minor, including hitting a wild or domestic animal, must be reported to security forces by calling 112, 0631-536-6060/7070 or 489-6060/7070. If this is not accomplished within 72 hours, the individual will be cited for failure to report and will have points assessed to their license.
