On Sunday, May 31, 2026, the official dedication of the new fire station for the Breunigweiler fire department took place. The building was constructed using the same modular timber construction method as the fire station in Steinbach and is the second of a total of three new buildings in the municipality of Winnweiler. The event began with an official ceremony and later transitioned into a cozy get-together featuring food, drinks, and music. Throughout the day, visitors also had the opportunity to tour the completed building.
Another item was on the afternoon’s agenda, as the festivities provided an official setting for the handover of the new fire truck to the Steinbach Fire Department. The LF 10/12, built on a Mercedes chassis with a Ziegler body (manufactured in 2003), has a water tank with a capacity of 1,200 liters and seats a full crew (9 firefighters). The vehicle is equipped with both firefighting and technical rescue equipment and fills a capability gap in the Steinbach/Börrstadt response area. Following its acquisition, the personnel carrier previously stationed in Steinbach was sold. The new fire engine will serve as a temporary solution until a district-level vehicle is stationed in Steinbach and will subsequently be used as a backup vehicle for the entire municipality.
