Fire show community

In addition to the base fire brigade and the building authority, the building of the fire show community also includes offices for electricity and water supply.

The fire show community , also known as Dunke , is a special community in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in Switzerland . It includes the village of Appenzell with its outlying quarters.

The origins of the fire show community can be found in the late 16th century as a self-governing body in the village of Appenzell. The core task of the fire show community comprised fire watch and fire fighting. Today, the tasks also include energy and water supply as well as local planning.

The fire show community takes on tasks that are otherwise performed by the individual districts (comparable to the political communities of other cantons). Since the village of Appenzell is divided into several districts ( Appenzell , Schwende and Rüte ), this cross-district special municipality was created for the settlement area of ​​the village of Appenzell, which ensures efficient administration. The fire show community is headed by the elected fire show commission .
