Ebersburg-Ried wins the fire brigade competition in Kassel!
An impressive fire brigade spectacle took place on June 28th in Kassel, where the Ebersburg-Ried team won the district decision of the Hessian fire service exercise. With an outstanding score of 98.3 percent, they prevailed against 19 other highly motivated teams from the Kassel administrative district. The competition was organized by the Kassel regional council and was part of a system in which fire service performance exercises in Hesse take place at three levels - district, district and state level. The best 12 teams have now qualified for the state tournament on August 31st in Lorsch, where they can once again demonstrate their skills. RP Kassel reports.
The competition included both a theoretical part with 15 questions and a practical exercise based on a GABC operation, i.e. an accident with a release of hazardous substances. Thomas Finis, the trainer, praised the excellent preparation and the high quality of the tests that were required of the fire brigade members. What is particularly noteworthy is that the Meißner fire department also received special praise in this competition for the best performance in the theoretical part, which underlines the importance of training.

The system of fire service exercises
The fire service performance exercises in Hesse are the key to promoting teamwork and skills among firefighters. The best teams between the district and district levels qualify for the state competitions. These competitions require both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, including the execution of knotting exercises. In the event of a tie, the number of correct nodes and the node time decide the placement. RP Darmstadt explains the structures these exercises in more detail.
Overall, the fire brigade competitions in Kassel were a great success, which impressively demonstrated the importance of training and cohesion within the fire brigade community. We can look forward to the next steps of the successfully qualified teams and keep our fingers crossed for Ebersburg-Ried and the other participants for the upcoming state finals!
