A year has passed since the big change in leadership at the Fraunberg fire brigade.
At the annual general meeting, the board of directors presented a thoroughly positive balance.
Fraunberg - It was the first annual general meeting of the Fraunhofer fire brigade after the big change in leadership last year.
The young successors presented a consistently positive balance in the Bürgersaal on Saturday evening.
Chairman Georg Atzberger, who replaced Albert Daschinger, and Commandant Thomas Daschinger, who had succeeded his father Georg Daschinger, impressed with their detailed and digitally supported statement of accounts as well as the activities listed therein for 2020. Mayor Hans Wiesmaier was also enthusiastic: “You are incredibly up to date.
The professionalism you show almost gives you goose bumps, ”he praised the tour and paid“ respect and appreciation ”to all those gathered for their commitment.
Of course, the pandemic was a great challenge for the club and team, and it was mastered with innovations such as board meetings as online meetings and carefully implemented regulations to ensure operational readiness, such as disinfectant dispensers in the fire station.
Commandant Daschinger spoke of an "insane balancing act", which one had to enter into between protective regulations and the ability to act.
Because an infection among the comrades "could have shot down the entire fire brigade".
You had to come to terms with "strange and difficult situations", such as virtual group exercises.
During the lockdown, the number of bets dropped to ten.
Whereas the total number of hours worked, which also includes training courses or radio trips, was 1,753 in 2019, in 2020 only 1,110 hours were spent.
The greatest effort was to raise the alarm about a fire in a horse stable in Pesenlern.
Good work by the firefighters and luck prevented worse, the commander reminded.
