Today (5/5/2024) firefighters in Povazska Bystrica (Slovakia) celebrated their patron St. Florian. The celebration started in the local church and then they moved in front of the town hall.
In front of the church, they had stopped their equipment, so I took a few photos. There was a 100-year-old Chevrolet veteran as well as technology from the 1980s to the present day. I also photographed the details of the Polaris four-wheelers, similar to the one that was in the last Fifik magazine, so if someone wants to add details or make an interior, these photos can help. Taken with a mobile phone, I'll put a few photos here and then the rest here:

St Florian's Day (2026)

Today (3.5.2026) firefighters in Považská Bystrica celebrated their patron saint St. Florian again. The celebration traditionally started in the local church and then moved to the town hall.
They had parked their equipment in front of the church, so I took a few photos. There was a 100-year-old Chevrolet veteran there again, as well as equipment from the 1980s to the present. Taken with a mobile phone.

I'll put a few photos here, the rest at the link (70 photos):
