Review of past championships
Last year, on June 22, 2024, the national championship of the volunteer fire brigades took place in St. Veit, in which around 650 active firefighters fought for the coveted titles in 84 groups. The competitors had to qualify in their districts beforehand, which underlines the performance and seriousness of the competition. The various categories and the admission of women's groups in the competitions show the diversity and openness of the fire brigade community.
It should be mentioned that the winners of the previous year look at the new championship in meetings and certainly prepare intensively. Successes such as those of Töplitsch who shone in the team performance competition set standards for the current participants.
fire brigade in the overall picture
The importance of the fire brigade is also underlined by the numbers: In 2022, the Austrian fire brigades performed a total of 244,360 missions, with technical operations such as traffic accidents and storm events over 180,000. With a number of 350,283, 99% of which are volunteers, the fire brigades show how important their work is for society. In addition, the proportion of women in the ranks of the fire brigade with 30,926 women, which corresponds to 8.8% of the overall team, is a positive sign of gender -friendly participation in this area.
In view of these impressive numbers and the lively participation in the upcoming competitions, it is confirmed that the fire brigade in Carinthia is not only a lifeline for the communities, but also continues a proud tradition that is lived with heart and commitment. We look forward to an exciting national championship in which the skills and passion of the Florianis are in focus!For more information about the upcoming events and the current development of the fire brigade in Carinthia, you can report the reports of , consultation .
