Volunteer Fire Brigades Draw Crowds at Open Days in Münsing, Wolfhagen and Treysa

The open houses doubled as recruitment drives focused on practical safety education.

Overview

  • Stations across the three towns opened their doors on Sunday, attracting strong turnouts for live demonstrations, guided tours and interactive activities.
  • In Münsing, crews demonstrated vehicle extrication with 35‑kilogram cutters and 25‑kilogram spreaders and staged a grease‑fire experiment that emphasized kitchen safety.
  • Leaders urged sign‑ups to youth programs from age 15 and highlighted new courses for adult entrants, as BRK, THW and the water rescue service presented joint response capabilities.
  • Wolfhagen’s program featured a church service in the vehicle hall and guided access to workshops that also perform services for other departments.
  • Treysa piloted a hands‑on “Schnuppertag” format centered on direct conversations and trying gear, underscoring the wider technical‑assistance role of today’s volunteer firefighters.
