With a Corona delay of one year, the FF Micheldorf invites on 10. and11. September for the 150th anniversary of the founding. “The wait has paid off, because now we can celebrate properly again,” says Commander Gerald Kaltenböck, looking forward to the Pankrazer Musikanten, Zwirn and DJ Netto. When the fire brigade was founded in 1871, Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth ruled and a law had just been passed that meters and kilograms should become the valid units throughout Austria. The only equipment available was a borrowed hand pump and a borrowed horse-drawn carriage, and in the event of a “traffic accident” the veterinarian was called and not the fire brigade. A new command vehicle will be blessed at the ceremony on Sunday.
