Fire Brigade Ossarn looks back: challenges and honors 2024

Höflein, Österreich - The volunteer fire brigade Ossarn has just held its 131st general meeting for 2025, where commander Franz Burgstaller drew an impressive summary of 2024. "It was a challenging year, and the demands on fire brigade are growing steadily," emphasized Burgstaller. He opened the meeting with an honorable commemoration of the late comrades Franz Edthofer and Karl Hausmann sen. He also emphasized how important it was to stand up for the future, which also included the regular reports on the cash management and the use statistics, such as Noen.at reported.

Review of the year 2024

The Höflein fire brigade also looks back on an intensive year 2024, which began with the 91st annual general assembly in January. Commandant Michael Hammer welcomed 61 members plus the youth group. Guests of honor, including Mayor Maria Hagenauer, were also present. As part of the meeting, the activities of the past year were presented, in particular the distribution of the peace light by the youth group, which took place on December 24th. In addition to the traditional events, there was also sad news: the loss of long -standing members, such as Olm Franz Reitermayr, who died at the age of 92, hurt the community. This was also discussed in the report by fire brigade.hoeflein.ottensheim.at

Another highlight was a quick reaction to an oil trail on December 20, which the team mastered impressively. The firefighters did everything they can to secure the danger point quickly and efficiently. These missions once again show how important our fire brigade is, both in emergencies and in the community. A great example of the cohesion and professionalism of our firefighters!
