New team transport car Karl strengthens Memmingen fire brigade!

The Memmingen volunteer fire brigade has reason to be happy! A new team transport car (MTW) ​​was presented in a solemn ceremony, which not only upgrades the vehicle fleet, but also makes an important contribution to operational readiness. The car was inaugurated in the presence of Mayor Jan Rothenbacher and city fire councilor Raphael Niggl and bears the respectful name "Karl", in honor of the former train leader Karl Reicherseder, who has been particularly deserved for partnership work with Teramo in Italy and St. Julien in southern France. The city pastors, Father Joshy Palakunnel and Pastor Ralf Matthes, blessed the new transport car, which is now being used for exercises, operations and the youth work of the fire brigade.

The investment of around 46,000 euros, of which around 17,940 euros are subsidized by the Free State of Bavaria, shows the commitment of the city of Memmingen for the safety of its citizens. The MTW, a Ford Transit with space for up to nine people, complements the equipment and promotes the smooth implementation of operations in which many emergency services are involved. Frank Greiner, the chairman of the association, praised the support of the city representatives who enable a significant expansion of the mobility of the fire brigade.

But that's not all! In addition to the new team transport car, the Memmingen volunteer fire brigade also received a Därzgut (GW-G) device car and an aid extinguishing group vehicle (HLF). These vehicles were handed over as part of a further celebration, and their total costs amount to an impressive 1.3 million euros. The city contributes around 880,000 euros from this sum, while the rest of the Free State of Bavaria is taken over.

Mayor Rothenbacher emphasized that the protection of the citizens' tops was a priority. The two new vehicles support this concern: The GW-G is specially designed for dangerous goods accidents and delivers the necessary tools for an emergency with its extensive equipment, including a drone. The HLF, on the other hand, with a capacity for a group leader and eight fire brigade members, is characterized by a high -performance fire extinguishing pump that promotes at least 2,000 liters of water per minute. The emergency services are well equipped in order to be able to react quickly in the event of fires and other emergencies.

The importance of modern fire engines should not be underestimated. As described on Specialistanwalt.de , powerful equipment and functional vehicles are crucial for quick and effective help in fires and other emergencies. The market requirements are high and therefore municipalities invest in the latest technology to ensure the best possible protection.

The equipment of the new vehicles includes not only modern extinguishing technology, but also special systems for combating vehicle fires, especially in electric vehicles. This comprehensive package of new vehicles, which also includes the flexible use of the MTW, from exercises to trips to partnerships, is a real profit for the fire brigade and the entire city.

With a clear focus on security and technical progress, the Memmingen fire brigade redefines its role as a hub of the city community and at the same time positions itself as a strong partner in disaster protection. The further development of the equipment is a step into the future and a real reason to be proud of your own fire brigade!
