The new vehicle of the FFW Fahrenzhausen has already done its first big deeds.
Now the new flagship could be given the ecclesiastical blessing.
Fahrenzhausen
- All churches in the area of the parish association Fahrenzhausen-Haimhausen would not offer the space that the fire brigade would need for such a service with the current distance rules.
That is why they invited to the open air on the forecourt of the Altes Wirts.
Pastor Stefan Menzel celebrated the service and gave the new car the blessing.
It was prayed that the volunteers would come home healthy from all missions.
Pastor Menzel had prominent support from Mayor Heinrich Stadlbauer, who musically framed the celebration on the guitar.
The all-rounder from the town hall played together with his daughter Birgit, who was a highlight of the evening with her beautiful singing voice.
The Stadlbauers stepped in because all the organists in the parish association are currently on vacation.

After his service as a musician in church services, Heinrich Stadlbauer was also allowed to take the microphone as mayor.
He proudly pointed out that the multifunctional vehicle, at just under 400,000 euros, is the most expensive fire engine in the history of the community.
In return, the municipality receives around 70,000 euros in government grants.
“We have invested a lot of money in equipping our five fire departments well,” he said, “that is an appreciation for the work.” Stadlbauer made it clear in his address that the five fire departments are not only important for providing help around the clock , but also for village cohesion.

Commander Georg Maderlehner explains that a good decision has been made with the versatile vehicle.
In the direction of his active team, however, he also made it clear that the best technology would not help without good training.
A new feature of the TLF 3000 with its own water tank is forest fire equipment.
The commander combines the most expensive fire engine in the history of the community in Fahrenzhausen with the desire that young people join the fire brigade to help people in emergencies.
The divine service with the belated blessing due to the pandemic was important to him “for the protective hand over our comrades”.
