Young heroes from Porta Westfalica shine at the national competition!
On Saturday, June 14, 2025, the national competition of the youth fire brigades of the Minden-Lübbecke district took place in Petershagen-Lahde. In high summer temperatures, a total of 15 groups from seven different youth fire brigades took part, including two groups from Porta Westfalica. The event once again shows the commitment of the youth fire brigades to further develop and measure in fire -fighting disciplines. The competition included two main disciplines: the A part, a fire-fighting attack, and the B part, a relay race over 400 meters, as kjf-gg.de reports.
In the A part, the participants had to use a water withdrawal point with open water. This included the operation of three C pipes and the implementation of four fire brigade nodes. Criteria such as speed and precision were crucial for the evaluation. At the same time, various exercises such as rolling of hoses and the quick dressing of firefighting clothing took place in the B part, where the speed and error-freedom of the participants were decisive.
