FW Bocholt: Honours and promotions at the Bocholt fire brigade

FW Bocholt (ots) -

The Bocholt fire brigade traditionally accompanied the St. Martin's procession in Bocholt city centre on Monday. After the operation, the members of the emergency and honour squad gathered for the annual camaraderie evening. The focus was on recognising long-standing memberships and promotions.

In a festive setting, the first city councillor Björn Volmering, the head of the fire brigade and his deputies presented the awards. Thomas Enk and Hans Bernd Schlenter were honoured for 50 years of active membership in the fire brigade with the Fire Brigade Decoration of Honour in Gold with Gold Wreath. Further honours for half a century of membership were awarded to members of the honorary department Karl-Heinz Dekker, Werner Telahr, Franz-Josef Eijpe and Ewald Meteling.

Willehad Eiting was honoured for 40 years of service, while Dirk Vriesen, Marc Steverding and Dirk van Boxel received the Fire Brigade Decoration of Honour in Gold for 35 years of active membership.

Promotions were also awarded: Hendrik Nienhaus was promoted to firefighter. Sarah Winter, Anna Tepaße, Malte Bertram and Mohammad Azrak can now call themselves senior firefighters. Kathrin Damhus was promoted to chief firefighter.
