Fire brigade festival in Kolshorn: marriage proposal in the middle of the competition!
On May 24, 2025, the "Kolshorner moor competitions", which was eagerly awaited, took place in Kolshorn, a district of Lehrte in the Hanover region. Organized by the Kolshorn fire brigade, eight different fire brigade groups from the city of Lehrte took part in the competitions. The day was characterized by bright sunshine and numerous spectators who had gathered in front of the old fire brigade house to follow the exciting competitions.
The competitions included several challenges, including a skill exercise with box stacks and a traditional fire service performance comparison according to Heimberg-Fuchs. The participants had to simulate a fire -fighting attack in which water was taken from an open water. The implementation with three jet pipes that had to be fast and had to operate flawlessly was particularly demanding.

Jennifer, also a member of the Kolshorn fire brigade, was visibly overwhelmed and accepted the application. In order to celebrate this special moment, the fire brigade comrades let heart balloons climb into the sky, which made the day even more unforgettable.
