In the Graz-Umgebung region and Voitsberg, a successful senior excursion recently took place. Organized by the Social Democratic Teachers' Association (SLÖ), the trip led the participants to the fire brigade museum in Groß St. Florian and to a popular winery in the area.

The first stop was the fire brigade museum, where the current special exhibition entitled "Fire and Art" can be seen. During a tour, the participants received exciting insights into the history of the fire brigade and the latest technical developments in the profession. It was particularly clear how fire engineering has grown over the years and what challenges still exist today.
