There were eight fires in total (2019: 5/2020: 3). Particularly noteworthy is the removal of destroyed trees by beavers on the Notzinger Weiher and an ABC operation due to a gas leak in the Schwaig industrial park.

The fire brigade can currently fall back on 44 active members, the youth brigade has five members, a platoon leader and nine group leaders are on hand he had clothed for 18 years.

Since 2019, the military has also had a traffic safety trailer, which, according to Aigner, is a valuable aid and protects the team, especially in the event of accidents on the road.

During the exercises, the focus was on deployments with a smoke curtain, winter training and height safety, as well as fire protection training in the kindergartens.

Andreas Milde, the responsible district fire supervisor, also expressed satisfaction with the communal fire brigade situation.

“Despite Corona, we have not lost any members, according to the latest requirements planning, Oberding even has more active firefighters than the large district town of Erding.

Thanks to almost the same equipment, there is the option of exchanging equipment within the five weirs, and we are pleased that our first responders are often on the scene faster than emergency doctors. "
