Fire brigade Fraham in the terminal: New vehicle does not fit into the old house!

The Fraham volunteer fire brigade in the Eferding district is currently causing excitement after a new tank fire engine that was taken over in the fall of last year does not fit into the garage of the old fire station. The discussion about the amount of the vehicle, which exceeds the garage height by 30 cm, has not only called on the schedule, but also local politics. This led to a media argument that raises questions about political differences, as Fireworld . According to the fire brigade, the problem was known and was already discussed when planning the vehicle.

new fire department depot in planning

To meet the situation, the municipality has decided to move to a former grocery store that is located next to the current fire station. This step was also supported by Mayor Harald Schick (SPÖ), who led the security problem due to the proximity to kindergarten. There are always difficulties in the old depot when there are operations, as parking spaces are often occupied by parents. Fire brigade commander Andreas Riedl also confirmed that the circumstances could be chaotic again and again, especially for alarms during kindergarten times.

The desired move to the new premises should take place by the end of March or early April. The old fire station will continue to be used for other purposes, whereby considerations are also being made to create a small restaurant or an event hall from the building. The total cost of the renovation amounts to 1.7 million euros, which was reduced by own work and good price negotiations, the mayor said. The new location should not only offer more space for the fire brigade, but also enable the integration of sanitary facilities that have so far been missing and make it difficult for female members to the fire brigade.
