Kolekcionar vatrogasnog znakovlja

Brezovečki vlastelin Miroslav Auš videći godine 1905. da je mjesto nezaštičeno od požara, a kako su se u par navrata dogodili požari kod okolnih seljaka, povede akciju za osnutak vatrogasne čete što mu i iste godine uspije. Članovi čete bili su uglavnom njegovi namještenici sa nekolicinon okolnih seljaka. Četa je vrlo dobro napredovala sve do 1914. godine kada su članovi čete bili pozvani u rat. Sve je bilo u rasulu do 1926. godine, dolaskom učitelja iz Rasinje gospodina Ivana Vajdića koji je u Rasinji bio zapovjednik čete te općinskog blagajnika Dragutina Vrankovečkog dotadašnjeg člana Dobrovoljne vatrogasne čete u Svetom Križu Začretju zajedničkom snagom uspiju 13. veljače 1927. natrag obnoviti vatrogasnu četu. Odmah se upisalo 46 članova. Izabrano je vodstvo na čelu sa Ivanom Vajdićem kao predsjednikom, zapovjednik Dragutin Vrankovečki,Josip Slivar zamjenik zapovjednika,Valentin Križanić blagajnik,Mirko Pavleček tajnik te Franjo Šumak vježbatelj.

In 1905, the Brezovica landowner Miroslav Auš, seeing that the village was unprotected from fire and that several fires had already occurred among the local farmers, took the initiative to establish a fire brigade, which he successfully accomplished in the same year. The members of the brigade were mostly his employees, along with a few local farmers. The brigade made very good progress until 1914, when its members were called to war. Everything fell into disarray until 1926, when Mr. Ivan Vajdić, a teacher from Rasinja and former commander of the local fire brigade there, arrived, together with Dragutin Vrankovečki, the municipal treasurer and former member of the Volunteer Fire Brigade in Sveti Križ Začretje. Through their joint efforts, on February 13, 1927, they succeeded in re-establishing the fire brigade. A total of 46 members immediately joined. The leadership was elected with Ivan Vajdić as president, Dragutin Vrankovečki as commander, Josip Slivar as deputy commander, Valentin Križanić as treasurer, Mirko Pavleček as secretary, and Franjo Šumak as drill instructor.
