history

Anniversary celebration 1986 - Festkommers with Zapfenstreich

The voluntary fire brigade Obertiefenbach was founded in 1880 in addition to an existing compulsory fire brigade on the initiative of Mayor Johannes Schmitt, who also became the first commandant. In addition to this first voluntary “village fire brigade” in what is now the Limburg-Weilburg district, only volunteer fire brigades existed in the cities of Limburg an der Lahn and Hadamar . The new pressure and suction fire engine was presented on July 13, 1880. In 1935 a new fire station with two vehicle boxes and a hose tower was built. In September 1936 the fire brigade received its first motorized sprayer . The first meeting after the Second World War took place in July 1955 after a long break. The first motorized fire engine was purchased in 1958. In September 1977 a new fire station with four vehicle boxes and a training room went into operation. The fleet expanded in 1986 and 2005 through the provision of a tank fire truck TLF 16/25 and a assistance Löschgruppenfahrzeugs HLF 20, as well as the purchase of a crew transport vehicle MTF. In the context of disaster control , a device vehicle for decontamination personnel (GW Dekon P) and a fire fighting group vehicle 20 for disaster control (LF 20 KatS) are available.

The anniversary celebrations were often held in connection with district fire brigade association days in 1890, 1968, 1986 and 2005 or with fire brigade competitions in 1960. The fire brigade has been taking part in the Hessian fire brigade performance exercises at district level every year since 1960 and has been district master 15 times and district master twice. In December 2018 she was named Fire Brigade of the Month by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior and Sports.

As early as 1982 women were accepted for the first time in the operations department and girls in the youth fire brigade. The introduction of the annual fire protection education began in the same year.
