It was a hot day in the Oberpullendorf district when the 47th district fire brigade youth competition took place on June 8, 2025. According to meinzirk.at , all 44 local youth groups started despite depressing heat. The fire brigade youth now has 533 members in the district - they are the leader in Burgenland.

District fire brigade youth officer Barbara Wessely praised the supervisors and the children for the great performance in the competition. The cohesion of the young Florianis was also strong in the various teams that faced the challenges of the competitions. Special highlights are the success of Team Steinberg 1, which won both the bronze category and silver. The Landsee/St. Martin/Neudorf reached second place in the bronze ranking, while Neckenmarkt 1 won the silver ranking.

Around 450 participants and guests were cared for on site, the organization of the competition was a complete success. For this, the local commander Thomas Buzanich received the largest trophy for his committed helper team.

"Comradeship and cohesion are the most important aspects of the youth fire brigade," emphasized the young participants.
