Penzberg - The Penzberg fire brigade has had young technical staff: There are three new vehicles in the equipment hall.

One thing is small, but important.

The anniversary is not only an opportunity for the fire brigade to commemorate their deceased comrades.

It is also the day on which the volunteers receive a lot of praise for their work.

So also last Sunday (September 5th).

Mayor Stefan Korpan (CSU) emphasized the work of the defense "not enough," emphasized at the wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial.

Before that, the delegations of the blue light organizations had marched to the roundabout to the sound of the town and miners' band.

The memorial is also an “expression of respect and camaraderie,” said the Catholic priest Bernhard Holz.

The clergyman then had an important task: Wood blessed three new vehicles in the fire station.

Whereby one thing in particular doesn't make a big difference. But the small fire truck (KLF) including trailer is a “no less unimportant vehicle”, as commander Christian Abt made clear. Because "Florian Penzberg 49/1", the radio call name, was specially acquired to offer quick help in confined areas. It is primarily intended for the allotment gardens - the Breitfilz area in particular was not allowed to be used by the tenants for months due to the lack of fire protection (Rundschau reported). But also the mountain dump, forest paths and the Loisachauen are areas of application for the Polaris quad. “This is our problem solver,” says Abt. The vehicle, which can go up to 90 km / h, is equipped with “a showpiece”, as Abt called it: a high-pressure extinguishing system with a 100 liter water tank and 60 meters of hose. The city invested around 70 in the team.000 euros.

Equipment trolley took patience

The new “Hazardous Goods” (GWG) equipment trolley was significantly more expensive, at around 500,000 euros. But the city doesn't have to put it on the table. The district is stationing the special vehicle in Penzberg, which is operated by the local weir. There is around 295,000 subsidies from the Free State, as Uwe Wieland, district fire chief for ABC and dangerous goods, listed. Because this also helps the neighbors, in addition to Weilheim-Schongau, the districts of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen and Garmisch-Partenkirchen are participating in the acquisition. However, it took a lot of patience until the car was in the garage. The district council had already awarded the contracts in 2018, due to various procurement problems it took until March this year for the commissioning. Thanks to the equipment, especially a measuring technique for unknown substances, one is now "very,very well positioned, ”said Wieland with satisfaction.


"Gazers make life difficult"

An assessment shared by the deputy district administrator Wolfgang Taffertshofer (BfL).

He praised the fire brigade (“You are always there”) and wished the volunteers all the best and success.

"Even if gawkers make your life difficult for you."
