Gold shower at the fire brigade competition in Rohrbach: Kaumberg and Lehenrotte win!
On June 2, 2025, the fire department performance competition of the Hainfeld fire department took place in Rohrbach/Gölsen. The event attracted around 34 groups who presented themselves under optimal conditions at the community's sports field. The fire brigade teams were highly motivated and fought for every second, which was reflected in their excellent performance.
The teams from Kaumberg and Lehenrotte were particularly outstanding, winning several gold medals. Impressive trophies were awarded to the winners, which further enhanced the competition. The enthusiasm of the participants and spectators made the day an unforgettable experience for the entire fire service community.

Just a few days later, on June 19, 2025, the popular Mostschank will take place in Jabing.

Missions and anniversaries
But the Rohrbach fire department is also active outside of the competitions. On May 13, 2025, the fire department had to be alerted because of a forest fire. An alert farmer noticed smoke developing and informed the emergency services. When they arrived, around 30 m² of forest floor was burning, but the fire was quickly brought under control. Thanks to the quick deployment and effective firefighting with a high-pressure extinguishing system, the operation was over after around 90 minutes.
Also of note is the 40th birthday of fire department commander HBI Markus Oswald, who joined the fire department in 1997. He has held numerous positions and is actively involved in various courses and achievement badges, including the fire brigade achievement badge in gold. Under his leadership, a fire department museum was built and a ceremony was organized to mark the 100th anniversary of the Rohrbach fire department.
