The firefighters from Steyregg were shocked on Thursday evening after the asylum scandal. During an innocent mission, they were harassed by young refugees and made to feel uncomfortable. The mayor supports his city’s volunteers.
“I felt intimidated. You just feel uncomfortable when people get closer.” “It was very uncomfortable, the atmosphere was very heated.” “I’m glad my male colleagues protected me, I felt very uncomfortable before.”
Between 16 and 25 years
This is how the four female firefighters (aged between 16 and 25 years old) who – as reported – were hindered and harassed on Wednesday evening during an operation in front of an asylum seeker center responded. Steyregg’s fire chief Rudolf Breuer is protective of his comrades who no longer want to talk to the media.
“Together we discussed and processed the events. We don’t want to talk about it anymore. Also because we don’t want to lose the enjoyment of our work. We want to help people,” says the commander, who was sometimes heavily criticized on social media.
Thrown with Christmas baubles
Deputy District Fire Chief Christian Breuer reports that there had been problems the day before. “Efforts were also made there. Christmas balls were thrown at us. “Something like this has never happened to me,” says the experienced firefighter. In any case, he also has positive things to say. “On Friday night we were able to sleep through the night for the first time in a long time.”
“Do not tolerate behavior”
The mayor of Steyregg, Gerhard Hintringer (SPÖ), found very clear words in a letter to citizens: “Let me make it clear that I strongly condemn the behavior of the young refugees towards our volunteer fire brigades and in particular towards our firefighters and am also unwilling But he also gave a deep insight into his inner life: he was criticized as a do-gooder and a left-wing radical, and others wanted to put him in the right-wing corner, he wrote.
Fire detectors are being revised
The fire alarm system is now being overhauled. An alarm must no longer be sent directly and immediately to the fire brigade, but an initial report must go to a person responsible on site. He then has one, maximum two minutes to cancel a false alarm before the fire brigade arrives, who occasionally charge for such “grossly negligent” or “intentional” alarms.
The BBU will have to pay for the stake
“It has been arranged that the first hour of operation is always charged in full,” explains Markus Voglhuber of the State Fire Brigade Command. The departure of the tanker costs a maximum of 125 euros, and each member that departs costs 24 euros per hour. “In a specific case, the first point of contact is the real estate operator, i.e. the Federal Agency for Care and Support Services (BBU). By the way, fire brigade operations are only free for fires, rescues of people and animals and for acute assistance in natural disasters. disasters.
