Fire brigade athletes fight for the title at the Germany Cup in Gehren!

On Saturday, June 7, 2025, the first run of the Germany Cup in fire brigade was opened in Gehren (Heideblick). This highly expected event brought fire brigade athletes from all over Germany, which measured themselves in various disciplines. Fire department head Stefan Klein welcomed the participants and the guests and in his speech recalled the team spirit and the passion that distinguishes the fire brigade.

The competitions included exciting disciplines, including the 100-meter obstacle, hook ladder climbing, duel rating, the group relay of women and the extinguishing attack wet. Klein thanked the district fire brigade association as well as the fire brigade association Gehren and all helpers and judges for their great organization and their tireless efforts. The results of the competitions flow into a nationwide overall annual ranking, which enables the participants to pursue their progress within the fire brigade sports scene.

Improvement of communication in fire brigade sports

In addition to the sporting aspect, it is also used to improve the communication structure within the fire brigade sports scene. A new project aims to combine the overview of competitions, appointments and results centrally. The basis for this is an improved competition planning, which is specially tailored to international fire brigade sports events. This project is intended to help coordinate other competitions- like youth and traditional competitions- even if the support in this area is still limited.

There were already established systems such as the fire brigade sports statistics and the competition manager. The latter was originally only designed for local use, which restricted its functionalities. The fire brigade sports statistics, on the other hand, were never intended as a planning tool. There is a considerable need for improvement here, since errors such as incorrect assignment of names and postponed times occur.

The challenge of data accuracy

Data problems are known in the digital recording of results in fire brigade sports. In the result lists, many names are often missed or duplicated. This not only causes confusion, but also makes the correct processing of the competition results. In order to counter this challenge, participants can fix errors directly or report to the platform.

Additional data is expressly welcome because the community is dependent on the accuracy and completeness of the information. Interested parties are encouraged to send the competitions of the competitions, with digital data being preferred. Snocked result lists must be copied manually, which requires additional work.

Overall, the start of the Germany Cup 2025 not only shows the sporting ambition of the fire brigade athletes, but also the endeavor to continuously improve organization and communication within the fire brigade sport. This helps to strengthen the cohesion in the community and to optimize the competitive conditions for everyone involved. The upcoming races promise exciting competitions and a lively participation, while we keep an eye on the further development in fire brigade.
