Probing inquiries are underway. - Menden fire department confronts extremist right-wing conversation.

An official statement has been made, revealing that the State Protection is currently probing a particular case. According to a representative from the Arnsberg Public Prosecutor's Office, they are delving into this matter thoroughly. The case involves a specific, closed chat group, where the sharing of certain content is under the microscope in order to determine whether it's criminal or not. For now, the number of such messages with potentially racist or unconstitutional themes is relatively low.

The city and fire department expressed their serious concerns over the situation. They firmly denounced "any right-wing extremist ideology and behavior." They are adamant about the rejection of any extremism or racism, stating that such attitudes have no place in their fire department nor in their city. If the accusations indeed hold up, they pledge to take appropriate action as a response. Right-wing extremism simply does not belong within their department or community.
