New command cars for Lauterbach: Fire brigade celebrates family day!

The family day offered a variety of attractions. Among the vehicles on display were not only the new models that were purchased in 2024 and 2025, but also exciting hands -on activities for children. These activities were all about fire protection education and education, because it is essential that families know how to react in an emergency and how they can avoid fires.

Vehicle equipment and municipal planning

The fire brigade presented several new vehicles, including a new operating control car (ELW 1), a fire-fighting vehicle for disaster protection (LF20 kats) and a team transport car (MTF) for the Lauterbach-Ost fire truck. City fire inspector Eifert explained that the city of Lauterbach uses a needs and development plan to systematically acquire new vehicles and to design the equipment individually. Here he and his deputy check various offers to ensure the best service.

The mayor emphasized the importance of the fire brigade's 24/7 availability. In a rural area, it is important that it can be traded quickly in an emergency. The fire brigade, which is borne by volunteers, is a cornerstone of the population protection in Germany. The voluntary work is not only indispensable, but also future -oriented, since many volunteers will continue to be used in society according to the Federal Office for Population Protection and Disaster Aid (BBK).

A look into the future of the volunteer office

The BBK has set itself the goal of promoting voluntary work in population protection in the long term even without a legal obligation. This not only creates structures for supporting voluntary fire departments and private aid organizations, but the need to develop future -oriented concepts is also underlined. The N.I.4 presentation in the BBK is available as a central contact for all questions about volunteering. It promotes networks and exchange between all participants who are committed to disaster protection, and shows that voluntary activities in society are more popular than ever.
