At the beginning of the year, the Dachau fire brigade was called three times to open an apartment. In other rural districts even on New Year’s Eve. Wolfgang Reichelt explains why the fire brigade does not replace the locksmith and how they go about their work.
Wolfgang Reichelt has been a firefighter since 1987 and has been spokesman for the Dachau fire department since 2003. In these almost three decades he has already experienced a lot, including one or the other apartment opening. On the first days of the new year, the time had come again: the Dachau fire brigade had to move out because there was a risk to life and limb. There were also operations around New Year’s Eve in other rural districts. In an interview, Reichelt explains what the increasing anonymity has to do with it and when such an assignment can become expensive.
