Just back from a walk to our Helsinki Finland village voluntary fire brigade Pit\u00e4j\u00e4nm\u00e4en VPK – Sockenbacka FBK. Established 110 years ago in 1908, it used to be connected to the traditional smoke stack industry in this old community. ( 25 September 2019 )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now times have changed but the fire brigade continues its active service. It is linked to the Helsinki Rescue Department, but works on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other voluntary fire brigades, ours has at times had difficulties in recruiting new young members. The intervention brigade has worked fine, but youth has been absent. Now finally, a youth group has started under the skilled and enthusiastic leadership of the fire brigade president Henrik Helenius. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I saw a small but happy group of young villagers taking their first steps on the road to become an active fire brigade volunteer. This was a really pleasant and positive experience. It is great that there are experienced and skilled people like Henrik who devote their time and energy to these important activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, the voluntary fire brigade in Pit\u00e4j\u00e4nm\u00e4ki – Sockenbacka has a shining red fire engine and a crew bus, and yes they do all kinds of emergencies and community services as well, not only practice sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
