DVD DUBROVČAK L.
Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Dubrovčak Lijevi je osnovano 16.lipnja 1927. godine, te od tada do današnjih dana neprekinuto djeluje na području našega sela. Kroz sve te godine svojega bogatog djelovanja važno je naglasiti da je već 1935. godine društvo uz pomoć ondašnjeg seoskog učitelja Ive Pejaković izgradilo veliki vatrogasni dom u centru sela Dubrovčaka Lijevog, koji i dan danas „stoji“ na ponos svih mještana. Društvo je uvijek bilo operativno spremno, te se kroz povijest rada Društva izmijenilo 3 kombi vozila, dvije vatrogasne štrcaljke na drvenim kolima, kao i ostalu opremu za gašenje i spašavanje, a sve u skladu sa normama vatrogasne opreme u vremenu kojem je nabavljana. 1957. i 2017. godine održane su dvije velike obljetnice od osnutka Društva, te se tada okupio zavidan broj vatrogasaca iz svih prijateljskih nam DVD-a. 90.-tih godina prošloga stoljeća započinje gradnja novog vatrogasnog spremišta, gdje i danas djeluju i rade članovi našega Društva, a od 2012. godine vodstvo DVD-a za svoje radne prostore koristi i zgradu stare škole Dubrovčak Lijevi.
The Volunteer Fire Department (DVD) Dubrovčak Lijevi was founded on June 16, 1927, and has operated continuously within our village ever since. Throughout its rich history, it is important to highlight that as early as 1935, with the help of the local village teacher, Ivo Pejaković, the department built a large fire station in the center of Dubrovčak Lijevi, which still stands today as a point of pride for all residents. The department has always maintained its operational readiness. Over the years, its equipment has evolved from two horse-drawn wooden manual pumps to three different generations of fire vans, alongside various firefighting and rescue gear—all in line with the standards of the time. Significant milestones were marked in 1957 and 2017 with grand anniversaries that gathered a remarkable number of firefighters from numerous friendly departments. In the 1990s, construction began on a new fire engine depot where our members still operate today. Since 2012, the leadership of DVD Dubrovčak Lijevi has also been utilizing the building of the old school in Dubrovčak Lijevi for its administrative and workspace needs.
