The district fire brigade command, represented by Commandant Karl-Heinz Greiner, received the award together with the section commanders Markus Schüttner, Roland Kleisz and Michael Lechner as well as the deputies Harald Neumann and Robert Fuchs. During these awards it was emphasized that the commitment of all fire brigade members who worked in the most affected regions of Lower Austria was of crucial importance.

"Exceptional done"

Greiner emphasized that "this award applies to all fire brigade members who performed special services in September both in the Wiener Neustadt fire brigade district as well as in the management staff, special services and in the disaster aid service." The firefighters made extraordinary efforts both in the deployment and in preparation for the challenges that the flood brought with it.

This award is also in the context of the ongoing efforts to increase the level of the fire brigade terrain in the region. Such recognitions contribute to increasing the motivation of the fire brigade members and making the importance of the fire service visible in public. The successful use in 2024 was called an example of the efficient and well -coordinated work of the fire brigade, which was not only life -saving, but also strengthened the trust of the population in the emergency services.
