Honors and successes: Reith fire brigade looks back on an active year!

Reith bei Kitzbühel, Österreich - An exciting year is behind the Reith fire department in the Tyrolean Kitzbühel, which celebrated its 118th annual general meeting on March 7, 2025. Commandant Roland Krabichler looked back on a committed year in which the fire brigade was called for 57 missions. Among these missions were 6 fire operations and 16 technical missions, while the team also supported 9 fire security guards. The small number of false alarms, with only four involuntary missions, testifies to the professionalism and operational readiness of the troop, such as fireworld.at reported.
