Fire-fighting youngsters aiming for global recognition through world record attempt.
In an exciting and historic event, over 120 youth fire departments from four Schleswig-Holstein counties and one city will gather to attempt a world record on October 7, 2023. This record-breaking attempt is taking place in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Schleswig-Holstein State Firefighters' Association.
The youth fire departments will join forces to construct a 66-kilometer water-carrying hose line along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. The hose line will commence in the Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg and traverse through the Kreise Herzogtum-Lauenburg, Segeberg, Stormarn, Ostholstein, and the city of Lübeck, before reaching its destination at the Draeger company in Lübeck.
The successful completion of this project will set a new world record and be recorded in the Book of World Records (RID - Record Institute for Germany). This ambitious endeavour promises to showcase the cooperation of youth fire departments from various regions of Schleswig-Holstein, as well as the support of operational units and other aid organizations.
The event is not just a training exercise or publicity stunt; it is a spectacle that promises to captivate audiences. The youth fire departments can be found on both Facebook (youthfiredepartment.sh) and Instagram (youthfiredepartment.sh), where updates and preparations for the world record attempt can be followed.
For those interested in learning more about the world record attempt, it is recommended to check official Schleswig-Holstein fire department or Guinness World Records announcements for precise details, such as the exact length achieved, date, participating teams, and outcome of the record attempt.
This world record attempt is a testament to the dedication and teamwork of the Schleswig-Holstein youth fire departments, and it is an event that should not be missed. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal will become the stage for an unforgettable display of coordination and determination, as the youth fire departments strive to break the current world record for the longest water-carrying hose line.
The youth fire departments plan to organize a sports-betting event alongside their world record attempt, with the winning team being the one that accurately predicts the exact length of the hose line. In the spirit of sportsmanship, funds raised from this sports-betting event will be donated to a local charity that supports underprivileged children in Schleswig-Holstein.
