Over 50 % of these technical operations met the need for wasp nests, which illustrates the urgency of such measures. The firefighters saved three people under the numerous missions and achieved an impressive time of 16,400 hours. In addition to the missions, there was also time for training, events and youth work.

Staudinger drew attention to the need to improve the space situation in the existing fire station and appealed to the politicians present to provide support.
