New fire director: Kloiber is heading the Salzburg fire brigade into the future

In a solemn ceremony in the main fire station in Maxglan, Werner Kloiber took command as the new fire director of the Salzburg professional fire brigade. This step takes place, since its predecessor, Reinhold Ortler, will retire after over a decade.

Ortler and Kloiber were honored with the district fire brigade in Bronze during the handover ceremony, while Ortler also received the Cross of Merit of the Austrian Federal Fire Brigade Association.

Kloiber's vision for the fire brigade
