A celebration for the whole family

But the fire brigade and track race was much more than a sporting event. The Hennigsdorf Volunteer Fire Department exhibited impressive emergency vehicles and offered spectators the opportunity to test out a fire brigade parkour, which was met with great interest by young and old. There was also a performance by various sports groups from the club, who thrilled the audience with their performances.

Physical well-being was also well taken care of. The Veltener Sportcasino 1420 provided a refreshing atmosphere with cool drinks, soft ice cream and grilled dishes, which rounded off the day and ensured a successful get-together.

The excellent planning and execution of the event, organized by the ORG team at the OSZ sports grounds on Berliner Straße, were consistently perceived positively by the participants and spectators. How on maz-online.de reported, LG Oberhavel secured second place in the Brandenburg Cup before the event, behind WSG Königs Wusterhausen.

All in all, a wonderful day in Hennigsdorf, which once again proved that the fire brigade and track race is much more than just a competition - it is a community celebration that inspires again and again every year. Also the constant improvements in communication and organization in firefighting sports, as seen on feusport.de described help to make such events even more successful.
