HLF is a rescue pump, a concept first developed by Berlin. These are pretty much the standard now in most full time German fire services, but volunteer fire companies like this one are also buying regular pumps (LF), because most of them already have one or more dedicated rescue trucks (RW) on their roster.

The idea that each station should have a HLF is less of a concern when the volunteer fire houses are very close together, as is usually the case where an area is protected by volunteers, but of course there are situations where they do still make sense.
