Meeting of the age department: Fire department icons back in action!
On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, an important meeting of the aging department of the Kornwestheim Volunteer Fire Department will take place. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. in the “Hasen” restaurant. This meeting aims to maintain the connection between the former active members of the fire department and to offer them a platform for exchange. Krzbb.de reports that the vintage vehicle “Bella” from the Kornwestheim Volunteer Fire Department is also mentioned on this occasion, a symbol of the tradition and history of the fire department.
The Aging Division, also known as the Honor Division or Honor Squad, includes members who are no longer able to actively participate in service due to age or health reasons. This department is an important part of the volunteer fire department and allows former members to maintain a sense of camaraderie while continuing to support the fire department. It is expected that the participants of the meeting will not only have the opportunity to exchange ideas, but also to be informed about current developments within the fire department. Wikipedia explains that the aging department also takes on special tasks such as training, equipment maintenance and supporting active duty forces.
Important framework conditions
There are special admission requirements for members of the senior department, which are regulated in the statutes of the respective fire department. A transfer to the senior division can occur for various reasons, including reaching a certain age, health problems or fulfilling a minimum length of service. In some federal states there are certain regulations for transfers, especially when members reach the minimum age of 65. Stuttgart News highlights that the accuracy of all information is not guaranteed, although this is in fact standard practice in event announcements.
As part of the upcoming meeting, members will also have the opportunity to find out about current topics within the fire department and exchange ideas. Such meetings are not only important for the transfer of knowledge, but also strengthen the sense of community, which is of central importance in the fire service.
