Ammerland fire brigade is planning a festival “like the village has never seen before’ The active members – currently 54 men and women – have had a busy year in 2023. Firefighters were called out twice to deal with storm damage, once to break snow and once to rescue a turntable ladder.

The fire alarm triggered false alarms three times - once due to a smoke system that was running during filming of the series "Hubert without Staller" The local council had approved the purchase of an LF10 on a Unimog chassis.
