volunteering in the event of a disaster

As part of an exciting panel discussion, moderated by prominent representatives such as the deputy district administrator Erich Winkler and district fire councilor Dr. Schmidt, the central role of the volunteers in crisis situations was impressed. "In the event of a disaster, it is crucial that all organizations, whether BRK, fire brigade or THW, work hand in hand," emphasized Winkler. The cooperation in the last flood was already going well, but they also recognized the need for optimization. A clear appeal to all emergency services to further improve! The evening was accompanied musically by the talented duo of the music school Dreiklang and was a complete success thanks to the Weißenhorn volunteer fire brigade.
