Ludger Heinrich steps into the second rank after 20 years

Change at the top of Fire Department 3 of the Bocholt Volunteer Fire Department: On reaching the age of 60, Ludger Heinrich handed over the leadership to younger hands. Robert Liebrand, who works both full-time and in an honorary capacity for the Bocholt Fire Department, was appointed as the new fire engine leader by the head of the fire department, Thomas Deckers.

Fire inspector Heinrich had previously rendered outstanding services in the leadership position of fire brigade 3 for almost 20 years. Of course, Heinrich will not retire completely - he will step into the second rank as deputy. Thomas Deckers thanked personally with the house attendance for his employment for the well-being of the citizens of the city Bocholt: It is not natural to accomplish this fastidious honorary activity beside its occupation. Ludger Heinrich was highly committed to the interests of the volunteer fire department." After joining the youth fire department in 1976, Heinrich continued his education; for his loyalty and commitment, he was awarded various honorary fire department awards over the years.

At the same time, Fire Chief Deckers thanked Robert Liebrand, who now continues this volunteer work in his spare time. "We are fortunate in Bocholt that numerous full-time personnel are also involved in the volunteer fire department in their spare time."
