Kolekcionar vatrogasnog znakovlja

Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Koprivnički Ivanec osnovano je 1894. godine i bilo je smješteno u ulici Goričko. Naime, Zemljišna zajednica Ivanec imala je 1894. godine samo tri ulice: Cenkovec, Goričko i Ivanec. One su iz straha od požara osnovale Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo. Nedugo zatim kupljena je prva ručna vatrogasna štrcaljka koju su vukli konji. Točan broj članova društva iz toga vremena nije poznat. Razvijanjem sela Ivanec, društvo 1899. godine kupuje i drugu vatrogasnu štrcaljku, te tada ima dvije, a zovu ih ‘nalevače’.DVD-u 20. srpnja 1899. godine pristupaju članovi: Martin Remenar, Mato Žnidar, Mijo Šulj, Stjepan Šulj, Josip Prosenjak, Blaž Kubičanek, Mijo Kubičanek, Ivan Jošt i Mijo Šimota.Vatrogasna štrcaljka ‘nalevača’ iz davne 1899. godine sačuvana je i sada se nalazi ispred društvenog doma u Koprivničkom Ivancu. Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo ponovno je utemeljeno 1927. godine i seli u ulicu Matije Gupca 14, gdje se gradi Vatrogasni dom i spremište. Godine 1939. društvo kupuje prvi vatrogasni agregat, koji je i danas sačuvan, a na spomen-ploči agregata još se uvijek spominju one tri ulice – Cenkovec, Goričko i Koprivnički Ivanec. DVD Koprivnički Ivanec 2010. godine ima 41 člana, raspolaže sa dva protupožarna odjeljenja, 20 ispitanih vatrogasaca, 15 članova ima liječnička uvjerenja i 15 članova je osigurano od povreda. Helikoptersku protupožarnu obuku 2009. godine završila su tri člana: Kruno Latin, Tomislav Latin i Marko Švagelj. Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo 2010. godine očekuje novo kombi-vozilo, te raspolaže s ostalom protupožarnom opremom, a opremu čuva u novom vatrogasnom spremištu.

The Voluntary Fire Brigade Koprivnički Ivanec was founded in 1894 and was located in Goričko Street. Namely, in 1894 the Ivanec Land Community had only three streets: Cenkovec, Goričko and Ivanec. They founded the Voluntary Fire Brigade out of fear of fire. Not long after, the first hand-held fire hydrant pulled by horses was purchased. The exact number of members of the society from that time is not known. With the development of the village of Ivanec, the society bought another fire hydrant in 1899, and then there were two, and they called them 'left-handers'. On July 20, 1899, the following members joined the DVD: Josip Prosenjak, Blaž Kubičanek, Mijo Kubičanek, Ivan Jošt and Mijo Šimota. The Voluntary Fire Brigade was re-established in 1927 and moved to 14 Matije Gupca Street, where a fire station and storage facility are being built. In 1939, the company bought the first fire engine, which is still preserved today, and the memorial plaque of the unit still mentions those three streets - Cenkovec, Goričko and Koprivnički Ivanec. DVD Koprivnički Ivanec in 2010 has 41 members, has two fire departments, 20 firefighters tested, 15 members have medical certificates and 15 members are insured against injuries. Helicopter firefighting training was completed in 2009 by three members: Kruno Latin, Tomislav Latin and Marko Švagelj. In 2010, the Voluntary Fire Brigade expects a new van, and has other firefighting equipment at its disposal, and keeps the equipment in the new fire station.
