Upper Austria Celebrates Its Firefighting Heroes
What a success! The Bad Mühllacken Fire Department claimed the title at the World Championship in Burgenland. On Sunday evening, a grand welcome ceremony was held in their home town. Pure emotion!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen What a success, what a rush of emotions! “When the competition was over, I was just so proud,” said Philipp Rabeder, commander of the Bad Mühllacken Volunteer Fire Department, who still can’t believe it the day after the competition in Burgenland. “His” fire department is the world champion—with a time of 29.97 seconds in the firefighting drill and 50.87 seconds in the obstacle relay!
A world-champion-worthy celebration and a call to the Federal President
And the celebration was truly world-champion-worthy: “About 200 fans traveled with us, and now we’re heading home, where we’re supposedly going to be surprised with a reception,” said the fire chief on Sunday. And what a surprise it was: Hundreds of fans welcomed their heroes in front of the fire station. Pure emotion! And Coach Bernhard now wants to call the Federal President to negotiate a public holiday: “Arnautovic didn’t make it, after all.” Provincial Councilor Michaela Langer-Weninger was also proud: “This camaraderie and team spirit are a model for our entire society.”
There was also great jubilation among the female firefighters from Julbach, who won the runner-up title at the World Championships.

Volunteer work deserves support
Upper Austria has every reason to be proud—proud of the many volunteers whose dedication goes far beyond what’s “normal.” Proud of people who train almost every day in their free time to achieve such great successes for our state—and who also step up to help when others need it. Because our world champions are also the fastest to respond to real fires and are immediately on the scene when things happen one after another. Successes like these also show how important it is not only to praise volunteer work but also to support it. Please, let’s see more of this!
