Hero of the future: Trainee firefighter strengthens Cottbus' community!
The city of Cottbus is taking an important step in public service that not only increases the safety of its citizens, but also encourages young people to pursue a career in emergency services. Sarah Thiel, a prospective works firefighter, talks about her exciting experiences. Growing up in Cottbus and with a strong sense of home for Lusatia, she has a clear motivation: She wants to strengthen citizens' trust in the fire department and actively contribute to the community. Cottbus reports that she has already gained experience with the volunteer fire department in Schönwalde and the city of Golßen, which solidifies her determined path into public service.
“Social responsibility, team spirit and the constant willingness to face challenges are the cornerstones of our work,” says Sarah. For them, these points are not just empty phrases, but a daily reality. Firefighting is more than just a job - it's about helping people in emergencies and ensuring safety. Team cohesion is crucial for them. “The strong team spirit at the fire department gives me support and makes the work satisfying,” she says emphatically.
Professional development and feedback culture
For Sarah Thiel, training to become a company firefighter is not only a professional start, but also an opportunity for personal and professional development. She had positive experiences during the introduction and appreciates the city administration's openness to feedback and suggestions for improvement. During her training, she is comprehensively prepared for her tasks and receives a lot of support from her colleagues, who are characterized by their social and empathetic commitment.
An important goal for Sarah is to support Cottbus as a safe, strong and solidarity-based community. “The feeling of being responsible for human lives and property is extremely fulfilling and makes my work valuable,” she continues.
The city administration of Cottbus is committed to the goal of promoting citizen proximity and engagement. It is important that the fire brigade builds a basis of trust with people and is actively involved in the community. Sarah Thiel is a shining example of the new generations of firefighters who not only want to put out fires, but also reach the hearts of citizens.
As you can see, there are clear efforts in Cottbus not only to modernize the fire department, but also to actively involve future generations in this essential service. Every new member who shares Sarah Thiel's passion and dedication strengthens the fire department and the entire community.
