Review of the Christmas tree campaign 2023

At a similar event that took place on January 11, 2023, around 1,800 Christmas trees were collected in the Gangelt community by more than 100 helpers, including fire brigade comrades in the operations department and the age and honorary department. The campaign lasted about three hours and was in constant weather.

Bernhard Horrichs, the youth fire brigade manager, spoke a word word in the fire brigade house of the Löhe-Niederbusch. The goal of the campaign was not only the environmentally friendly recycling of the trees, but also the young talent for the operational department and ensuring fire protection in the municipality. Around 50 children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18 are members of the youth fire brigade who regularly performs a two -week exercise service and offers numerous additional programs.
