Kolekcionar vatrogasnog znakovlja

U Gradu Belom Manastiru vatrogasnu djelatnost obavlja Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Beli Manastir od 1928. godine. Vatrogasni dom u ulici Vladana Desnice 2, izgrađen je 1965. godine. Izvršen je preustroj i osnovana profesionalna vatrogasna postrojba 01. travnja 1968. godine pod nazivom "Stalna vatrogasna straža" sa 14 uposlenih vatrogasaca koja djeluje do 1971. godine, kada je postrojba promijenila naziv u "Vatrogasni centar Beli Manastir". Uz promjenu naziva u postrojbi je povećan obim poslova (djelatnosti) jer u sklopu vatrogasne djelatnosti djeluje Hitna pomoć sa 5 vozila i vozačima. Lječnička ekipa je u Domu zdravlja Beli Manastir. U postrojbi djeluje i servis za osobna vozila (automehaničarski, autolimarski i autolakirerski radovi). Povećan je i broj zaposlenih na 27 izvršitelja. Vatrogasni centar Beli Manastir ponovno mijenja naziv 1979. godine u "Profesionalna vatrogasna jedinica općine Beli Manastir". Po sili zakona, Hitna pomoć vraća se u Dom zdravlja, a prestaje raditi i servis za osobna vozila. Profesionalna vatrogasna jedinica općine Beli Manastir djeluje do agresije na Baranju i R. Hrvatsku 1991. godine. Dio radnika prognan je iz Baranje, a dio je ostao raditi u Postrojbi. Zapovjedinici u vatrogasnoj Postrojbi od osnutka do domovinskog rata bili su: Svetozar Vakanjac, Ivan Kolarić v.d., Stevan Medić, Rudolf Tkalec i Franjo Bartolić. Mirnom reintegracijom hrvatskog podunavlja i Baranja je vraćena u ustavnopravni poredak Republike Hrvatske. Kako su profesionalne vatrogasne postrojbe na slobodnom teritoriju R. Hrvatske još 1994. godine postale sustavni dio MUP - a, tako je i bivšu Profesionalnu vatrogasnu jedinicu općine Beli Manastir preuzelo MUP i to 15. listopada 1997. godine. Vatrogasna postaja Beli Manastir u sustavu Vatrogasne postrojbe Osijek djeluje do 31. 12.1999. godine.

In the town of Beli Manastir, firefighting has been carried out by the Beli Manastir Volunteer Fire Department since 1928. The fire station at Vladana Desnice 2 was built in 1965. A professional fire department was reorganized and established on April 1, 1968, under the name "Permanent Fire Department" with 14 firefighters, which operated until 1971, when the unit changed its name to "Beli Manastir Fire Department". With the change in name, the scope of work (activity) in the unit increased, because as part of the fire department, an ambulance with 5 vehicles and drivers operates. The medical team is located in the Beli Manastir Health Center. The unit also operates a service for passenger vehicles (auto mechanics, bodywork and auto painting works). The number of employees has also increased to 27 employees. The Beli Manastir Fire Department changed its name again in 1979 to "Professional Fire Department of the Municipality of Beli Manastir". By force of law, the ambulance returned to the Health Center, and the car service also ceased to operate. The professional fire department of the Beli Manastir Municipality operated until the aggression against Baranja and the Republic of Croatia in 1991. Some of the workers were expelled from Baranja, while others remained to work in the Unit. The commanders of the Fire Department from its establishment until the Homeland War were: Svetozar Vakanjac, Ivan Kolarić acting, Stevan Medić, Rudolf Tkalec and Franjo Bartolić. With the peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube region and Baranja, it was returned to the constitutional and legal order of the Republic of Croatia. As professional fire departments on the free territory of the Republic of Croatia became a systematic part of the Ministry of the Interior in 1994, the former Professional Fire Department of the Beli Manastir Municipality was taken over by the Ministry of the Interior on October 15, 1997. The Beli Manastir Fire Department operated within the Osijek Fire Department until December 31, 1999.
