The Vice President of the German Fire Brigade Association, Dr. Christoph Weltecke emphasizes that this event is an absolute highlight in the annual calendar of firefighters. "It not only offers excellent sporting achievements, but also strengthens the sense of community," he emphasizes. Firefighters from Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria will also take part. To make this possible, the firefighters receive tickets at a reduced price of only 7.50 euros, such as op-marburg.de

The collaboration between the Ski Club Willingen and the fire brigade associations has been maintained for twelve years. On World Cup Sunday, numerous firefighters will be present in their uniforms and watch their favorite athletes. Jürgen Hensel, President of the Ski Club, describes the long-standing partnership as a "heart project" and does not regret that the fire brigade families also include members of the youth departments. This shows how much volunteering is anchored in top sport.

In total, more than 3,000 fire brigade ski jumping fans are expected in the stadium, and the admission price of EUR 7.50 even covers the journey by local transport. This initiative illustrates how important the interaction between sport and volunteer commitment is and creates unforgettable experiences for the participants.
