Leoben celebrates: Fire department shines in technical assistance testing!

The Traboch-Timmersdorf volunteer fire department achieved great things in the Bronze Technical Assistance Test (THLP) and completed it without any errors. This test is essential for emergency services to be optimally prepared for the challenges of a traffic accident. In the theoretical test, the participants had to know the exact location of the devices in the emergency vehicle, while in the practical part, a nighttime traffic accident with a person trapped was simulated. Vice Mayor Martin Schuchaneg and area commander OBR Johann Diethart congratulated the fire department members for their impressive performance meinkreis.at reported.

Meanwhile, the annual autumn meeting of the Upper Styrian Traditional Costume Association took place in the Steirerherzen clubhouse in Leoben. The association, which was founded in 1924 and includes 16 clubs, takes a look at the club's past year, which was marked by celebrations for its centenary. The cultural representative Johannes Gsaxner praised the successful implementation of the anniversary celebration and expressed the hope that the traditional costume association would continue to make significant contributions to regional folk culture in the future. The event emphasized the importance of customs, traditional costumes and social interaction, and numerous activities and educational programs in the areas of folk dance and folk music were also presented, such as otv-leoben.at reported.

Both events demonstrate the commitment of local communities, be it through the fire department's road safety efforts or the active maintenance of cultural traditions. Such initiatives are essential to strengthening and promoting community and security in the region.
