community and commitment

The cooperation and the commitment of the various weirs are also remarkable in the large exercise project of the youth fire brigade. Fire brigades from the Rostock districts Groß-Klein, city center, Rostock Heide, Warnemünde and Gehlsdorf will bundle their strength. In the old fire station 3, a fire is even simulated with a fog machine, which results in an impressive picture for the audience when extras are available as injuries for rescue.

The volunteer fire brigade is not only an indispensable part of the infrastructure, but also a place of the community. Whether at the course for young firefighters or celebrating together at festivals, volunteering remains an important attraction. The cohesion and enthusiasm for the fire brigade must be kept awake in the youth, as it belongs to the future of fire protection and rescue workers.

The celebrations in Jördenstorf are therefore not only a review of the history, but also a look into the future of the fire brigade and the community, which acts together to bring security and help into people's lives.
