Hilchenbach Volunteer Fire Department Sets Up a Children's Fire Department

Many of our employees engage in voluntary work - be it in sport, animal welfare or in the volunteer fire department. One of them is Timo Neuhaus, who works in our joinery and has been a member of the Hilchenbach volunteer fire department for 30 years, where he is now chairman of the booster club.

When he heard about the “Heart Projects” campaign, he immediately thought of the booster club, which is currently setting up a children's fire department. “In the children's fire department, the children learn about the tasks of the fire department in a playful way. We explain topics such as fire prevention and safety in a child-friendly way and put what they learn into practice straight away,” explains Timo Neuhaus. Thanks to the support of the HerkulesGroup, uniforms as well as play and handicraft materials could be purchased for the children. The highlight is a fire engine specially designed for children. “Like many clubs, we also have problems recruiting new members. That's why we want to convey the fun and importance of fire department work to children at an early age,” emphasizes Timo Neuhaus. 

Seit dem 21. September können Kinder ab 6 Jahren Mitglied der Hilchenbacher Kinderfeuerwehr werden. Wer sich selbst engagieren oder mehr über die Freiwillige Feuerwehr Hilchenbach erfahren möchte, kann Timo Neuhaus gerne persönlich melden.
