850,000 euros for Bebra: Modern fire station secures the future!

In Bebra, the heart of the fire brigade beats stronger than ever! Interior Minister Roman Poseck handed over a proud 850,000 euros for the construction of a state -of -the -art fire station to Mayor Stefan Knoche on Monday afternoon. This support is part of a comprehensive 14 million euro project and is intended to better prepare the volunteers in Bebra and its districts for missions. A good 290 firefighters serve here and have now well equipped for the upcoming challenges.

The new fire department device is built in the old building and offers space for ten emergency vehicles. But that's not all: the plan also provides for a car wash, a fitness room and a modern hose workshop. This workshop is used in an inter -municipality to clean hoses after operations and to check their suitability. A weighty plus for the safety of the fire brigade, in particular by installing a fire alarm system that ensures over 40 vehicle batteries.

comprehensive equipment and challenges

The planned equipment of the new fire station is impressive. In addition to the vehicle hall, storage areas, workshops and social rooms with changing room and sanitary rooms are planned. A youth fire brigade, a training room and an exercise tower will also help promote the community and training of the firefighters. Minister Poseck emphasized the synergy effects of this extensive equipment and praised the cooperation between the various municipalities to ensure more effective emergency aid.

However, the challenges remain. Despite the generous funding, the implementation of the project is a complex task for the city of Bebra. Knoche noted that the funding was well invested and that the construction was designed for the next 40 years. After all: The Bebra fire brigade received three new vehicles in May 2025, and since 2021 the state government has supported fire protection in the region with over 1.2 million euros.

commitment to fire and disaster protection

The promotion currently granted is part of a strong commitment from the State of Hesse for fire and disaster protection. The minister emphasized that Hessen is only available to the promotion of fire brigades every year and that a total of 20 million euros are planned for fire engines and houses throughout the country by 2025. It shows that the country's freik guidelines play a central role for fire protection and are actually realized with over 90 % of the applications received. In the district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg, over 2.3 million euros have been provided for ten vehicles and nine construction projects in the past two years.

A result that not only strengthens fire protection in Bebra, but also in many other parts of Hesse. As Poseck aptly noted, every euro in the fire service is a valuable investment in the security of the citizens. It is proven here: If the fire brigade calls, the country is on hand!
