Fire Station

The Šilokarčema County Fire Brigade was established in 1897. In 1911, a building donated by Hugo Scheu, was modified according to the needs of firefighters, thus becoming the first fire station in Šilutė. Despite Lithuania’s turbulent history, the station withstood the test of time and retained its original appearance for more than 100 years. To this day, this building houses the Šilutė Fire and Rescue Service.
