The photograph above shows the former house (partially visible) with the adjacent garage of the Bredevoort volunteer fire brigade, close to the Grote Gracht. Willem Kobus, a gravedigger by trade, lived in that house. When he retired, he moved to Tramstraat. Willem Demkes and his family then moved into the fire station property. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photograph below dates from 1987. In that year, shortly before the ‘Bredevoort 800’ celebrations, the fire brigade was disbanded by the Municipality of Aalten. The firefighters resigned en masse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
