Youth fire brigade Demitz-Thumitz: Hydrant test and water supply secured!

In the coming week it will go high in Demitz-Thumitz! On Saturday, September 6, 2025, the youth fire brigade of the volunteer fire brigade will start its regular hydrant control throughout the municipal area. The fire brigade is particularly predictable on the subsequent Saturday, September 13, 2025, where control in Wölkau, Pohla/Stacha and Medewitz continues. This can lead to clouding in water supply at short notice, but the fire brigade ensures that everything runs smoothly. As [Demitz-Thumitz] (https://www.demitz-thumitz.de/aktuelles-ausfuehrlich/jugendfeuerwehr-ueberprueft-hydranten-am-s-am- and--13-09-2025.html), it is an important measure to ensure the functionality of the hydrants.

The youth fire brigade has already proven its reliability in the past few weeks. Nine brave members undertook their first assignment outside of the hometown and helped in Schlottwitz in the Müglitztal, where the consequences of a flood disaster could be mastered. Under the direction of youth fire brigade Mirko Jelinski and his deputy Michael Hantzsche, relief goods and tools that were donated by citizens from Demitz-Thumitz were taken. The use also included the cleaning of the tool shed by the Schlottwitz volunteer fire brigade and the elimination of mud and rinsing. The return reports were touching - the young people reported uprooted trees and destroyed houses, and one of them described: "There is nothing left of the green, only mud and dirt everywhere", like that Sächsische.

a team that holds together

It is nice to see how the active weir from Demitz-Thumitz previously helped in Schlottwitz and the youth fire brigade not only learns how to be part of the community through the various contacts of the active members, but also how to stand together in difficult times. Three of the young people will soon enter the active weir and show that the flame of the engagement in the fire brigade will be continued. "We are ready to help again at any time when we are needed," the members assure.

The hydrant project not only makes sense, but also creates a framework in which young people can actively learn-and that in a community that holds together. One does not want to ignore a positive aspect: the team spirit is strengthened and the young firefighters can also contribute to the safety of our community. This form of community work can also be observed in other fire departments, such as in Westerstede, where the youth fire brigade also regularly controls and maintains hydrants. There the hydrants were cleaned and the functionality was checked to ensure that in an emergency everything works smoothly, as [HTTPS://WWWw.feuerwehr-westerstede.de/die-jugend-hat-hantag-hydranten-kontroll.

Overall, the hydrant control in Demitz-Thumitz is not just a routine task, but a joint event that strengthens the cohesion and performance of the youth fire brigade. It turns out that the young members are not only ready to help, but also with passion and commitment. A big thank you goes to everyone who participates in these important actions and thus keep our community safe and strong!
