It is a tradition that Commander Daniel Pleyer remembers the year of the Herrschinger and Breitbrunn fire brigade in the municipal council meeting before Christmas.

His conclusion: fewer exercises, many missions.

Herrsching

- For safety's sake, the emergency services of the volunteer fire brigades Herrsching and Breitbrunnheuer moved out in the fire truck with six instead of nine people, said commander Daniel Pleyer this week to the Herrsching councilors in his traditional annual balance sheet.

So that in the event of an infection not all volunteers have to be quarantined at the same time.

The good news: "We haven't had any infections so far."

The firefighters are responsible for a good 11,000 residents and a community area of ​​21 square kilometers, reported Pleyer.

In addition, there are 1000 hectares of forest - and two hectares of it burned in April in the Riederwald.

“We were on duty for seven hours,” he recalled.

The arsonists were never identified, presumably they were walkers.

What was certain, however, was the trigger for the fire in the apartment building in Breitbrunn in January: Foam cans were on the stove and exploded.

Thank God nobody was hurt.

The tractor left a special smell in Breitbrunn in the summer when it overturned along with the 30,000 liter slurry trailer.

And the successful reanimation of a vacationer who collapsed in a car still moves Pleyer.

The person was "actually dead", but the quick response meant that the man was "awake and responsive when the emergency doctor arrived".

In total, the 77 active members from Herrsching and the 45 active members from Breitbrunn did almost 5600 hours of volunteer work.

The first responder deployed 326 times, plus 131 technical assistance and 71 fire operations as well as eight fire safety guards.

Pleyer is particularly pleased about the young people who joined the fire brigade in February after the “Heroes wanted” campaign: From now on Herrsching has 24 and Breitbrunn nine junior fire fighters.

Due to the pandemic, your training has fallen by the wayside, but the commander is hoping for better times.

He brought the best news at the end: “The Starnberg District Office is about to procure the disaster control boat.” It is supposed to replace the old boat.

On behalf of all comrades, Pleyer accepted the benevolent applause of the councilors.

Your work is extremely important, emphasized Mayor Christian Schiller: "If the fire brigade no longer comes, nobody comes."
