Fire brigade fusion in Willingshausen: New plans for more security!

in Willingshausen a lot is happening in terms of fire brigade. The planning for the merging of the fire brigades of Merzhausen and Willingshausen as well as the merger of the operations departments in Steina and Trutzhain take shape. The aim is to ensure operational readiness and to use the resources more efficiently. According to hna this topic has been in the room since the last ten years, and the discussion has last on 26th June in a well -attended meeting of the municipal council in the Wasenberg Kulturhaus.

The project provides for the creation of a joint fire department at the Antreffhalle. The mayor, Luca Fritsch, emphasizes the goal of not endangering camaraderie and social structures. At the same time, the operations departments are actively included in the planning. The financing for the new location is also planned in the 2026 budget, with 2.2 million euros the project is to be promoted.

Details for planning

A central point of the debate is the development plan for the fire brigade and local heat in Trutzhain. New fire brigade houses are to be built here, which puts the ordered urban development in the foreground. The documents for these plans are according to hna from July 28 to September 1st in the town hall Willingshausen visible. In addition, alternative models, such as maintaining the current locations, are weighed up against the merger at a new location.

As far as the operations departments are concerned, the staff ceiling in Steina with 18 active members is significantly smaller than in Trutzhain, where almost 40 firefighters are on duty. A new fire department in Trutzhain is already planned. However, the technical requirements must be met, which causes some concerns. wlz also reports of a positive feedback on the part of the Steinaer fire brigade, which speaks for the merger. At the same time, there are concerns on the part of the Willingshäuser weir that their importance is not adequately recognized in the village.

future perspectives

The talks about inter -municipal cooperation with Schwalmstadt for the Steina fire brigade are also in progress. The municipality of Willingshausen would like to participate in the construction costs with a share of 25%, which corresponds to around 500,000 euros. A decision was made to further concretize the inter -municipal models. An increasing support from the district fire inspector and the two operations departments give hope for a positive result.

But not everything runs smoothly: ambiguities about financial participations and follow -up costs ensure uncertainty. The discussions about the merger and future list of fire brigades are still on the agenda and require clear communication between the parties involved in order to find solutions that make sense for everyone. The coming months will be crucial to put the plans into practice and to keep the willing of the fire brigade in safe hands.
