The fire service history of the market town of Waizenkirchen is marked by many challenges, including devastating fires. Over the centuries, the residents have repeatedly been forced to withstand the devastating consequences of fires and wars. As early as 1592, 70 houses went up in flames in a fire disaster. In order to be prepared for such emergencies, a fire engine hut was built in 1833 and the establishment of an organized voluntary fire department was initiated in 1875. These events and the associated efforts to improve fire safety demonstrate how important fire protection is to the community ff-waizenkirchen.at turns out.
