Borchers and Wilken: Zetel fire department starts its second term in office!

A sign of trust was recently sent in the community of Zetel: Klaas Borchers and Björn Wilken were once again appointed local fire chiefs of the local fire department. Her second term of office was officially confirmed during a handover ceremony in the meeting room of the town hall. Mayor Olaf Oetken did not miss the opportunity to praise the two firefighters for their dedicated voluntary work in fire protection and civil defense. “Your dedication is priceless,” he said. These appointments not only recognize the individual performance of those appointed, but also reflect the community's trust in the leadership skills of the Zetel Fire Department. The term of office was extended by six years, which represents an important step for both the fire brigade and the citizens in ensuring sustainable safety in the region.

The appointment of Borchers and Wilken follows the agreed procedure, in which the municipal council approves the appointment after hearing the responsible district fire chief. As e.g. voris.wolterskluwer-online.de reports, this election takes place via a meeting of fire brigade members, whereby a majority is required. Such transparent procedures strengthen trust in the fire department leadership and support close cooperation within the community.

Cooperation and responsibility of the fire department

The role of Borchers and Wilken should not be underestimated. As local fire chiefs, they lead the local fire department and report to the municipal fire chief. This shows how important a well-structured hierarchy is in order to be able to act quickly and efficiently in an emergency. These responsibilities are not only recorded on paper, but also require practical experience and successful completion of relevant training courses. This is a standard that the fire department in the region strives to maintain in order to meet the high demands.

Thanks to the two new incumbents also came from Claas Schröder, the municipal fire chief, and Jan Szengel, chairman of the economic, financial and fire protection committee. Your congratulations show that the entire fire service community is behind this choice and that the course has been set for successful cooperation in the future.

In neighboring towns, such as Wallenhorst, the trend towards stability is reflected in fire department leadership. Timo Wischmeier-Raffelt and Ansgar Osterbrink were recently appointed leaders there, as feuerwehr-wallenhorst.de reports. They also rely on further strengthening cooperation between the fire departments and municipal institutions. Such networks are essential today in order to be able to react quickly and efficiently in emergency situations.

Overall, it can be said that the reappointment of Klaas Borchers and Björn Wilken not only represents a step towards familiar continuity, but also sends a clear message: the safety and well-being of citizens is the top priority.
