Wedding interrupted: bride and groom rush to the fire department because of a fire!
Christian and Franzi Ballin from Blumenhagen said yes on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Newly married, they left the registry office in Pasewalk at 10:30 a.m., but the special day took an unexpected turn. During the ceremony, alarm bells suddenly sounded and a fire was reported in Schönwalde.
An unexpected mission
The situation presented the bride and groom with a challenge: The groom, Christian, initially did not want to go to the mission, but on the advice of his bride, he decided to go along. Operations manager Frank Bollmann reported that it was a shed in Schönwalde that was smoldering. Fortunately, the firefighters from Blumenhagen and Schönwalde didn't have to do much because attentive neighbors had already initiated the first fire extinguishing measures.
After the mission was successfully completed, the Ballins were able to continue their wedding celebration. This shows that even on the most beautiful day in life, unexpected events have to be expected.
A nightly alarm
The evening before, the firefighters from Jatznick had been alerted to smoke at the local train station. However, this situation turned out to be less dramatic as only one fire bowl was burning and no use was necessary.
Firefighter wedding season
The wedding season not only provides romantic moments, but also exciting fire service operations. Loud Fire department magazine is often invited to special celebrations during this time. Firefighters accompany newlyweds to their church weddings, organize trellis formations with fire hoses and offer unique wedding games that range from target syringes to saving wedding rings. These traditions make fire brigade weddings lively and unforgettable.
Whether on duty or at festive occasions, the fire brigade plays a central role in many weddings and creates lasting memories. For the Ballin bride and groom, this day will be unforgettable thanks to the history of the fire service, and we can only imagine what anecdotes they will tell their loved ones when they later look back on their special day.
