Freiwillige Feuerwehr Bruck an der Mur

Almost after every fire, the municipal authorities of the city of Bruck issued new ordinances, the so-called "Feyer Orders". These ordinances laid down the storage of highly flammable materials (hay, straw, wood), the precautionary measures, what to do in the event of a fire and structural regulations. Failure to comply with these prescribed rules threatens high penalties.

In 1857 the "Fire Extinguishing Regulations for the Duchy of Styria" were issued. As a result, it was repeatedly pointed out that better fire extinguishers should be purchased and that a certain group of men should be professionally trained and trained.

This development led to the establishment of the fire brigade of the city of Bruck an der Mur in 1868.
