Founded in 1868 under Aegid Pegger – who also initiated the founding of the Tiroler Landesfeuerwehrverband in 1872 –, the Freiwillige Feuerwehr Stadt Lienz has shown its effectiveness in numerous operatios as well as hard times. The people of Lienz realized this professional protection especially during the flood catastrophes in 1965/66. Along went the necessary moves into new locations (the last time in 1992) and the constant technical modernization of carpark and equipment – up to the present.

The founding of the Bergrettungsdienst Bruneck in the Alpenverein Südtirol in the early 1950s deals with many aspects – the main one is a training course of Wastl Mariner at the Berliner Hütte in the Zillertal/North Tyrol where many different salvage ways have been taught.

The mission statement „Same methods, same technique, same measures“ in the whole Alpine regions was to be refined in the decades to come. Regarding high mountain tours during the summer as well as assignments after winter avalanches, nowadays one cannot imagine emergency services without the Bergrettungsdienst.

Founded in 1928 with the representative Martin Schlosser during a meeting in the inn “Zum goldenen Fisch” (“Fischwirt”), since then the association had been enjoying a steady increase in popularity. During the interwar period they were playing on the freezed Isel whereas from the 1950s several matches took place in the near Puster Valley of South Tyrol and Möll Valley in Carinthia. The 50-years-anniversary in 1978 and the 70-years-anniversary in 1998 were celebrated largely. At the National Championships of Tyrol the association participated and participates regularly and with pleasure.
