Commandant HBI Wolfgang Reitböck thanked for the hours worked and informed about significant innovations such as the state -of -the -art command vehicle "Kdofa", which was delivered in September 2024, as well as new energy concepts for emergency power at the fire brigade houses and the municipal building.

Highest honor for Manfred Weiß

In addition, other members were awarded for their merits: Michael Reitinger received the district medal in bronze, while Florian Mayr received the silver award. Harald Perzl was also recognized for his role as a youth worker and command member for over 25 years.

All four members received 100 percent of the votes in the secret election under the direction of Mayor Johann Fuchs.
