To celebrate their success, they received certificates and badges that honored their achievements, like fireworld.at reported.

The exams were organized and accepted by over 40 ratings, with district youth officer Julia Ivancsits emphasized how important these events are for the fire brigade youth: "The fire brigade youth is the future of our emergency organization. With this examination, the young people show how much they have already learned and that they are well prepared for the upcoming challenges." Numerous high-ranking guests were also present for the honorary award ceremony, including Mayor Isabella Radatz-Grauszer and State Fire Brigade Commander Franz Kropf.

valuable training work

The Steinbrunn volunteer fire brigade invests a lot in the training of their youth team. This meets at least once a week to prepare for knowledge tests, performance competitions and the active service. Practical training, which brings realistic use scenarios, is particularly emphasized. In addition to the training company, members also have fun with excursions such as bowling and swimming, which strengthens the sense of community. Young people are allowed to join the fire brigade in the year of their 10th birthday and can make valuable friendships. Interested parties are invited to visit the weekly exercises that usually take place on Fridays at 5:30 p.m., such as volunteer-feuerwehr-steinbrunn.webnode.page reported.
