New fire brigade statutes in Barbing: What citizens need to know now!
On November 12, 2025, a new statute on reimbursement of expenses and costs for operations and other services provided by the municipal fire brigade was announced in the municipality of Barbing. This happened as part of a resolution by the local council that was passed on November 4, 2025. The new version of the statutes has become necessary in order to take into account the changes in the number of fire engines.
The relevant changes include the purchase of a new LF20 fire fighting vehicle for the Sarching volunteer fire department and the implementation of an LF10 from the Sarching volunteer fire department to the Illkofen volunteer fire department. In addition, a personnel transport vehicle (MTW) for the Friesheim Volunteer Fire Department is recognized. These adjustments required a recalculation of the flat rates for billing.
Details about the new statutes
The new statutes and the associated appendix, which contain the updated flat rates, are available for inspection during general business hours in Barbing Town Hall, Room 5. Citizens are encouraged to find out about the innovations.
