Polish and German Firefighters Strengthen Ties Through Volunteer Exchange

A delegation from Buk, Poland, recently visited Hambühren as part of an ongoing exchange between their volunteer fire brigades. The trip focused on sharing expertise, strengthening community ties, and exploring each other’s emergency response methods. Both mayors attended the event, highlighting its significance for future cooperation.

The visit began with an official reception at Hambühren Town Hall, where Mayor Carsten Kranz and Buk’s Mayor Paweł Adam welcomed the Polish group. The delegation later signed Hambühren’s Golden Book and received a detailed presentation on the town’s municipal structure and volunteer fire brigade operations.

The Polish firefighters toured Hambühren’s fire station, showing particular interest in the technical equipment and tactical approaches used by their German counterparts. They also visited Celle’s main fire station, where the scale of operations and advanced vehicles—especially the HLF 20 rescue and firefighting truck—left a strong impression. Another stop at Oldau fire station revealed the brigade’s newest addition: a brand-new HLF 10 rescue vehicle. At the Celle District Fire and Rescue Control Center, the visitors learned about emergency call handling and the technical capabilities supporting regional firefighting efforts. Both sides agreed that future exchanges would include joint training exercises to refine techniques and study each other’s operational strategies.

The exchange reinforced the importance of personal dialogue in building a lasting partnership between the two communities. Plans for continued collaboration, including shared training sessions, were confirmed. The visit marked another step in deepening ties between Hambühren and Buk’s volunteer fire brigades.
