Firefighters fight for trophies: Lake plate in competition!

Neuendorf, Deutschland - Last Saturday, June 20, 2025, the youth fire brigade of the Mecklenburg Lake District showed what they are made of on the sports field of the fire department in Neuendorf. The district fire brigades were pending and eleven teams fought for the coveted challenge cup. The youth fire brigade Altentreptow emerged as the winner, followed by Wildberg and Golchen, who are now represented the lake plate in the upcoming state competitions in Ticino. This reports Strelitzius .

The competitions included a fire -fighting attack that was carried out with a water withdrawal point in the "open water", as well as a 400 meter long obstacle run. Here, the tasks from the young firefighters not only required skill, but also teamwork. "The extinguishing attack must be mastered in a time limit of seven minutes," explains Dominik Tramp, the district youth fire brigade, who had his last official appearance that day. A minute's silence was inserted for the late Bernd Niemczewsky.

challenges and winners

The extinguishing attack includes coupling suction hoses, overcoming obstacles and binding fire brigade nodes. The subsequent 400-meter obstacle course included tasks such as rolling out hoses and creating personal equipment. These challenges made the day a real highlight for the participants, while the spectators were feverish.

Another exciting event was the children's fire brigade. Seven groups competed and mastered their tasks with flying colors. The first place went to the fire brigade from Werder/Kölln, followed by Gielow and Waren (Müritz). These young firefighters, for example, had to take off fire hoses and serve bucket syringes, which demanded a lot of skill.

variety and support

The Station Rally of the District Youth Forum provided further entertainment between the competitions, with Schwichtenberg emerged as the winner. The day was supported by numerous political representatives, the state youth fire brigade manager and many other guests. A special thank you goes to the district youth forum and the district fire brigade association as well as to the DRK support train Neubrandenburg, which ensured catering. The bet between the district military leader and the district president also brought additional tension, which ensured that the children and young people were able to secure the trophies for the next district elimination.

The competitions of the youth fire brigades are not only a sporting event, but also an important opportunity to promote the young fire brigade and prepare them for the challenges that they will meet in the future. Competitions similar to the federal competition of the German Youth Fire Brigade are on the agenda, which also make the youth fire brigades known nationwide. Jugendfeuerwehr.de explains that these competitions are also a qualification for the international competition, which offers teams the opportunity to compete on an even larger stage.
