Just in time for the start of spring, the fire department is offering its comrades new cycling clothing. "We're not just encouraging sporting ambition," says State Fire Service Commander Dietmar Fahrafellner.

Anyone who wants to cut a good figure on their bike and show their affiliation to the fire department at the same time now has a special opportunity to do so. The provincial fire service command is offering a special sportswear collection. "With this collection, we not only want to promote the sporting ambition of our members, but also offer them the opportunity to wear and show their fire department pride in their free time," explains Provincial Fire Service Commander Dietmar Fahrafellner.

The collection includes jerseys, vests and pants made from high-quality materials. They are available in the fire department association's webshop from 69 euros.

Support out of gratitude
Wilhelmsburg bicycle expert Wolfgang Denk made a major contribution to the campaign. The entrepreneur sponsored a total of 60 jerseys with a total value of more than 5,000 euros, making the new "sports underwear" much more affordable for everyone. Denk's business is located in the St. Pölten district close to the Traisen river, but unlike many of his colleagues, he survived the floods well. "In this way, we want to show our gratitude to the emergency services, who did an extraordinary job throughout the country, especially during the disaster in September," explains Denk.
