For their efforts during the flood disaster in southern Burgenland, the firefighters receive free tickets to the Allegria Resort Stegersbach.

Flooded cellars and houses, washed away roads and bridges, massive damage and bewilderment: the flood disaster a few weeks ago was not only a huge challenge for the population, but also for the emergency services. Around 310 fire departments and the disaster relief service were in action, sometimes around the clock, to rescue people, clear and secure roads and repair damage.

"Respect and recognition"
The Allegria Resort Stegersbach has now presented the firefighters with free tickets to the thermal spa as thanks and recognition for their commitment. "What the members of the volunteer fire departments have achieved during the floods is enormous and demands the greatest respect and recognition," said Governor Hans Peter Doskozil and fire department officer Provincial Councillor Heinrich Dorner. "We are deeply grateful to the firefighters who risked their lives to protect us," says Manuela Klawatsch, Managing Director of the Allegria Resort.

Thanksgiving party on July 19
As reported, there will also be a thank-you party for all helpers at Schlaining Castle on July 19 on the initiative of Doskozil.
