Fire brigade fusion in Waidhofen: New security center for the region!

Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Österreich - in Waidhofen an der Ybbs is doing something big: The fire brigades Waidhofen/Ybbs city and Zell have decided to bundle their strength and merge the "Volunteer Fire Brigade Waidhofen an der Ybbs". This decision was made a few years ago, but now the plans for a new fire station have become concrete. Basic decisions have been made and a new security center will be created as the future -oriented project. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner was enthusiastic about the merger and the associated new building, such as stadtlandzeitung.com.

The two fire departments have already coordinated intensively and work together in the youth and children's fire brigade as well as on joint exercises. This also strengthens the team spirit. In order to support the financing of the new building, the old fire station are sold. Thus, the 100 to 120 members required for the two previous fire departments come together in a modern new building, which is also urgently necessary, because the current premises are characterized by lack of space. Emergency vehicles and equipment have so far often had to be parked outside of the armory, reports Kurier.at.

planned construction work

The new fire station is built on the Steinauer meadow in the Kreilhof business park, outside the city center. Construction is planned for 2026, so that the two fire departments can benefit from a modern and functional infrastructure in the future. Mayor Werner Krammer and Vice Mayor Mario Wührer were delighted with the progress and see the project as a big step. During the talks about the security center, valuable experience could be gained that will be helpful in the construction of the FF Wirts operations.

A final municipal council decision for the new building is expected to be expected at the end of July 2023. After that, the tenders for the construction project can take place. The two fire brigades plan to actively participate in the construction work, which not only lowers the costs, but also promotes the sense of community.

support and future view

The governor has also given a funding commitment for the new security center, which significantly strengthens financial support. After the merger, there will be five fire brigades in Waidhofen, including the Bene company fire brigade. The city is also planning to build an urban building yard and a waste collection center in the vicinity of the new fire brigade center - good news for the city's infrastructure.

With this step, the fire brigades of Waidhofen an der Ybbs not only show how important teamwork and feeling of community are, but also how you have gained experience in the future in the past. So soon a modern security center will be created that meets the requirements of the fire brigade and the citizens of Waidhofen.
