Amtsfeuerwehrtag with Ball – Amt Arensharde

When the local brigades meet

The Amt Arensharde is located in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg and encompasses several rural communities between Schleswig and Husum, including Treia, Schuby, Silberstedt, Ellingstedt, Hüsby, Hollingstedt, and Lürschau. Within this administrative district, the volunteer fire departments—the backbone of local fire protection and emergency services—organize the annual Fire Department Day.

2026 in Treia

The Amt Arensharde event calendar lists the 2026 Fire Department Day for Saturday, September 12, at 2:00 PM in Treia. The event is being organized by the Treia Volunteer Fire Department. The specific venue within the town has not yet been announced.

A rotating host

The brigades take turns hosting the event. According to the Amt Arensharde fire department website, the upcoming schedule is: 2026 Treia, 2027 Silberstedt, 2028 Ellingstedt, 2029 Hüsby, 2030 Lürschau. Schuby hosted the event in 2025.

Competitions by day, ball by night

Saturday is dedicated to competitions between the various brigades and youth fire departments. The festival concludes in the evening with a ball for all firefighters, featuring dance music, a shared meal, speeches, and honors for long-serving members. The ball serves not only as a festive occasion but also as a vital social link between the district's brigades.

A look at volunteer work

For the public, the Fire Department Day is one of the few opportunities to see the work of the volunteer fire departments up close and to understand how heavily the fire protection and emergency infrastructure in rural Schleswig-Holstein relies on volunteers.
