Context:
Unterstützend im Arbeitsschutz sind:
Evakuierungshelfer
Brandschutzhelfer und Selbsthilfelöschkräfte
I can describe Selbsthilfelöschkräfte in a verbose way, of course, but since this is in a PPT I'd like to keep it as short as possible. Is there a proper terminus technicus for Selbsthilfelöschkräfte?

Self-help fire fighting groups
Self-help fire fighting groups return to a shelter location on completion of fire suppression operation....
World War II experience in Germany showed the relative effective-
ness of properly organized self-help forces in extinguishing fire bomb ignitions prior to room flashover. Until the self-help forces were effectively disbandcd by evacuation orders, the self-help firefighting forces of Hamburg fought 59 percent of all fires, even though they operated only on small fires.
