“A dignified farewell,” said Mayor Klaus Schneeberger at the end of an event that lasted more than 27 hours, in which many friends, colleagues, family and, above all, civilians and comrades alike were able to say goodbye.

This honor guard was guarded by a total of 154 different people from the fire brigade, the Red Cross, the Samaritan Association, the civilian body, the police organizations and the armed forces.

Pepi Bugnar’s life and work for the Wiener Neustadt Volunteer Fire Brigade was outlined by Honorary Fire Brigade Commanders and Honorary Regional Fire Deputy Director, Eng. Herbert Schanda. Rough moves, because Josef Bugnar has shaped the image of the Wiener Neustadt fire brigade since the mid-1980s: through its unifying nature, he has forged many ties that still endure, such as visiting the Nagycenk fire brigade (Hungary ) or Monheim (Germany). He showed.
The vice president of the fire brigade Armin Blutsch, the deputy commander of the state fire brigade of the Association of the Lower Austrian Fire Brigade and the vice president of the Federal Association of the Austrian Fire Brigade, praised the Bugnar Fire Advisor services beyond the city limits in his speech. Mayor Klaus Schneeberger was also concerned. In his speech he showed the image of Pepi Bugnar that we all knew so well: helpful, always available and always attentive to the cause. But each of the speakers had something in common: they all appreciated what Pepi was for the team. : He was a father figure, a brother in spirit and was always there for everyone and everyone.
When Josef Bugnar set out with the revolving staircase on his last journey across the Ring, along Grazer Straße past the castle to the cemetery, not only the delegations of the surrounding fire brigades and the guests of honor stood on the edge of road. The Theresian Military Academy under the direction of GenMaj. Karl Pronhagl stood at the height of the MilAk and said goodbye with a trumpeter, the Wiener Neustadt police under the leadership of the city police commander, Lieutenant Colonel Manfred Fries, also took his leave with an honorary training in Grazer Straße as well as the fire department of the Wiener Neustadt State Hospital and the Wiener Neustadt Red Cross. Many passers-by stopped as the train passed and, from the Eye of God, the dozen firefighters, members of the external fire brigades and friends of Josef Bugnar, passed by.
With the FIRE siren program, our commander was led to the grave after being laid out in the closest family circle in the cemetery chapel, where a railroad music trumpeter played one last piece for Pepi.
