The city council has signed the order: The Wolfratshausen volunteer fire brigade will get a new turntable ladder earlier than planned.

Wolfratshausen - Andreas Spohn, commander of the Wolfratshausen volunteer fire brigade, called it “the worst scenario”: In the middle of action, in the event of a roof fire in the historic old town at the beginning of December last year, the aerial ladder of the defense failed to work (we reported).

Fortunately, the corresponding equipment from the comrades from Geretsried was on site.

But since the 20-year-old turntable ladder of the Wolfratshausen rescue services was not the first to switch to stubborn, Mayor Klaus Heilinglechner and the city council quickly realized: a new one was needed.

It is now being ordered.

Wolfratshausen: New turntable ladder costs just under 850,000 euros

The average life expectancy of a turntable ladder is 25 years - the municipality should have bought a new one by 2025 at the latest. Due to the "technical inadequacy" (Heilinglechner) of the existing vehicle, the acquisition was brought forward; delivery is expected to take place in 2022. The city council awarded the contract to the manufacturer Rosenbauer, who is upgrading the Daimler truck. In their most recent meeting, the citizens' representatives made just under 850,000 euros (total price) available. According to the town hall chief, the government of Upper Bavaria will take over EUR 225,000 from this amount. (cce)
