Kolekcionar vatrogasnog znakovlja

Od osnutka 1930. godine do danas Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Sesvete ostvarivalo je svoju temeljnu humanu zadaću - zaštitu od požara, te dalo značajan doprinos spašavanju ljudskih života i imovine ugroženih požarom ili drugim elementarnim nepogodama. Sesvetski su se vatrogasci kroz osam desetljeća borili i s nizom teškoća u svom radu, no to ih nikad nije omelo u jedinom cilju svakome priskočiti u nevolji, spašavati ili pružiti pomoć ugroženima od vatrene stihije ili bilo koje druge ugroze. Istodobno, nikad nije zanemareno materijalno, tehničko i tehnološko opremanje Društva i stručno osposobljavanje svih članova. U osamdesetsedam godina postojanja kroz Društvo su prošle mnoge generacije Sesvećana, ali i mnogih drugih koji su zahvaljujući životnom putu postali Sesvećanima. Poslije prvog svjetskog rata u Sesvetama se razvijao društveni život i to kroz pjevačko društvo «Nada» u tvornici Rabus, a u samom mjestu aktivno je djelovala organizacija «Hrvatski Sokol». U sklopu ove organizacije djelovala je i kazališna družina koja je davala predstave za građanstvo. To je vrijeme svojedobno opisao Tomo Lisak, organizator osnivanja vatrogasnog društva i njegov prvi vojvoda-zapovjednik.   U takvoj atmosferi i zbog raspuštanja Hrvatskog sokola osniva se dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo. «Mi entuzijasti sastali smo se u mojoj kući i dogovorili o osnivanju vatrogasnog društva. Bili smo politički sumnjivi što nam je otežavalo pripreme pa i kasniji rad. Teško je danas i zamisliti kako smo uspjeli.» Dogovoreno je i provedeno. Nakon niza dogovora 22. lipnja 1930. godine u tadašnjoj gostionici, koju je držala Hermina Wainberger zajedno s Tomom Lisakom, održana je osnivačka skupština na kojoj je sudjelovalo više od 40 osoba, koje su odmah učlanjene u tek osnovanu vatrogasnu organizaciju. Na žalost, nije sačuvan ni jedan dokumenat, pa se samo prema sjećanjima sudionika može rekonstruirati rad te osnivačke skupštine. izvor: DVD Sesvete

From its founding in 1930 until today, the Sesvete Voluntary Fire Brigade has accomplished its basic humanitarian task - fire protection, and has made a significant contribution to saving human lives and property endangered by fire or other natural disasters. Sesvetski firefighters have struggled with a number of difficulties in their work for eight decades, but this has never prevented them from the sole purpose of jumping into trouble, rescuing or providing assistance to those affected by the fire or any other threat. At the same time, the material, technical and technological equipment of the Society and the professional training of all members have never been neglected. In the eighty-seven years of its existence, many generations of Sesvete citizens have passed through the Society, but also many others who, thanks to their life path, have become Sesvete citizens. After the First World War, social life developed in Sesvete through the singing society "Nada" in the Rabus factory, and the organization "Hrvatski Sokol" was active in the town itself. Within this organization, there was also a theater company that gave performances for the public. This time was once described by Tomo Lisak, the organizer of the founding of the fire brigade and its first duke-commander. In such an atmosphere and due to the dissolution of the Croatian Falcon, a voluntary fire brigade was established. “We enthusiasts met at my house and agreed to establish a fire company. We were politically suspicious, which made it difficult for us to prepare and even later. It's hard to imagine today how we succeeded. " It was agreed and implemented. After a series of arrangements on June 22, 1930, a founding assembly was held at the then inn, run by Hermina Wainberger along with Tom Lisak, attended by more than 40 people, who immediately joined the newly formed fire organization. Unfortunately, not a single document has been preserved, so only according to the memories of the participants can the work of that founding assembly be reconstructed.
