Ebersburg-Ried sensationally wins the fire brigade district decision!

In the heart of Northeastern Hesse, the Ebersburg-Ried fire brigade shone in the district decisions of the Hessian fire brigade performance exercises and won with an impressive score of 98.3 percent. The event took place on June 28, 2025 at the Hessian State Fire Brigade School in Kassel and gathered 19 fire brigade teams from the region, which were faced with the challenge. A great success for the Rieder fire brigade, which has been qualified for the state decision, which will take place on August 31st in Lorsch, as osthessen-news.de

The competitions of the fire service exercises are more than just a competition; They are a traditional event that deals with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The teams have to answer a questionnaire with 15 questions about fire brigade and master a practical exercise that is specifically geared towards GABC inserts. A bit of a thrill is guaranteed, because the groups also have to tie four fire -fighting nodes. In the event of a tie, the node time decides on the ranking, as on rp-darmstadt.hessen.de is declared.

tradition and preparation

Fire service exercises in Hesse have a long tradition and take place at different levels: district, district and state level. Each fire brigade has the opportunity to compete with groups or seasons to show their knowledge and skills. These competitions not only serve the practical training, but also to the consolidation and supplement of knowledge in theory and practice, as can be read on district fire brigade.net. The theoretical part consists of answering specialist questions based on the fire brigade service regulations, while the practical exercise simulates the quick and precise action in use.

The competition is not only a test of knowledge, but also a way to strengthen the cohesion within the fire brigade and to better prepare for future missions. The events are proof that security and training in the fire brigade have a top priority. With this in mind, we are already looking forward to the state decision in Lorsch and keep our fingers crossed for all participating teams!
