New armor for Trefelsdorf: State Councilor Fellner assures support!

Trefelsdorf, Österreich - On May 24, 2025, representatives of the Voluntary Fire Brigade Treelsdorf and the SPÖ Frauenstein State Councilor Daniel Fellner visited. On this important day there was a tour of the planned supply and expansion of the armory on the agenda. It was a valuable meeting in which local politics discussed the upcoming changes together with the fire brigade.

Support for the fire brigade project

The State Council was impressed by the commitment of the fire department department and promised its full support for the construction project. A modern and functional armory is crucial for the efficient implementation of operations and for the safety of the population, explained Fellner. This also corresponds to the general approach of the state government to support the municipalities and their fire brigades financially in order to strengthen the operational capacity of the volunteer fire brigades.

The initiative for the expansion project was created in close cooperation between the fire brigade, the municipality and the SPÖ Frauenstein. The SPÖ rated the country's promise as a significant step in the right direction and as a milestone for the implementation of the project. The meeting ended with a joint exchange about the fastest possible and needs -oriented implementation of the planned measures.

The role of the fire brigades in Austria

Voluntary fire brigades play a central role in disaster protection and technical relief service in Austria, where the fire service is largely based on voluntary work. In almost all communities, the fire brigades are an indispensable part of the danger. However, the legal framework and the organization of the fire departments vary depending on the state, which leads to different structures and processes. Over 350,000 members are involved in the volunteer fire brigades, which historically go back to the 19th century and make an important contribution to the security of the citizens.

With over 5,399 fire stations and 341,325 active firefighters, the figures from 2019 show the extensive presence and operational readiness of the voluntary fire brigades in Austria. In the context of this engagement, the visit by State Councilor Fellner in Treffelsdorf not only represents the recognition of the work on site, but also an example of the important support that lamps have to meet the requirements for modern fire brigade structures.

For the fire brigade in Trefelsdorf, this visit is a sign of appreciation and motivation to perform your tasks as best as possible and to ensure security for all citizens.
