100th anniversary
Fire department celebrates anniversary with safety day
The Kalvarienberg volunteer fire department is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with a big event at the Schleppe Alm in Klagenfurt.
"When the location for our fire station was fixed next to Feldkirchner Straße in Klagenfurt in 1924, it was still a gravel road," says former firefighter Erich Sornig about the beginnings of the Kalvarienberg fire department, which was founded 100 years ago due to two major fires.
The fire department now has 65 members, consisting of active, reserve and veteran firefighters as well as young people. "We are particularly proud of our youth fire department. In general, we can't complain about a lack of members," say Sornig, who has been a member for 57 years, and his comrade Gerhard Schwarz, who has been a member of the Kalvarienberg fire brigade for 40 years.
Safety day at Schleppe-Alm
To mark the 100th anniversary, a big celebration is planned on June 29 at the Schleppe Alm, where the new fire engine will also be blessed. At the same time, this year's Safety Day will take place with an exciting program. All emergency organizations from the police and water rescue to the army, mountain rescue and of course the Carinthian fire brigades and more will be there and present themselves in special demonstrations.
In addition to the musical entertainment, food and drink will of course also be provided. There will be a special "Kids Corner" for younger visitors and children's competitions organized by the Civil Protection Association. In the evening, the Junge Zillertaler and DJs will tempt you to dance.
