Fires, religious zeal and the first firefighters

Anyone who looks at the old town of Bergneustadt would hardly guess that the town has fallen victim to devastating fires on several occasions. The Bergneustadt natives rebuilt their houses with zeal. This stretch not only passes through the history of the fire service that dates back to Roman times, but also to a unique fire service convalescence home and the fire service helmets exhibition.

Am Waldrand führt ein schmaler Wanderweg entlang. Rechts beginnt der Wald, links vom Weg wachsen in einem eingezäunten Bereich kleine Bäume. An einem Zaunpfahl ist das rote Markierungszeichen des Feuer und Flamme-Wegs angebrcht.© Das Bergische / Maren Pussak
