The new appointment of the fire brigade officer sparks discussions in Eching. Mayor Sebastian Thaler is not convinced about the position of fire brigade speaker.
In the end, only the mayor voted against the new appointment. The FW parliamentary group suggested that Josef Riemensberger be appointed as a consultant for the rescue services and fire departments - a personality that no one wanted to doubt or shake. The CSU parliamentary group leader Georg Bartl recalled that people were “not enthusiastic” about the introduction of the speaker positions four years ago.
