Helde in the fireplace fire: Düdelsheim fire brigade saves life!

Düdelsheim, Deutschland - in Düdelsheim, Hesse, a potentially devastating fireplace fire was prevented thanks to the quick action of a neighbor and the emergency services. On November 23, when Wilfried and Annelie Molz sparked a fire in the fireplace, her neighbor Jens Klitsch, who is active in both professional and volunteer fire brigade, noticed the rising flames and immediately alerted the fire brigade. Klitsch, who is responsible as a deputy military leader, ensured that the alarm was quick and prevented it worse. Within just ten minutes, six fire engines and a turntable ladder vehicle stood in front of the house of the Molz, since fireplaces are generally treated as emergencies in which there is a risk of an explosion, such as The Kreis-Anzeiger reported .

The fire brigade did a great job by deleting the fireplace fire with professional chimney sweep tools and checking the chimney walls for overheating. A total of up to 35 firefighters were deployed, who with their specialist knowledge impressively showed how important their role is in the community. Wilfried Molz, a long -time listener from HR4, suggested the firefighters and Jens Klitsch for the action "Hesse's hero" to recognize their heroic deeds. He then immediately received feedback and a team attended the fire brigade and the Molz family. Klitsch, modest in his answer, said: "I don't feel like a hero. This is my job and I like to do that."

recognition for communication research

parallel to the local heroicism, Dr. Jan Gerwinski from the University of Siegen awarded the young communication to the youth price. The price endowed with 1,000 euros recognizes his dissertation, in which he examined the communication of firefighters under different conditions. Gerwinski researched what role digital media play and how they can influence the often critical situations. The work opens up new perspectives in a previously little -examined area of linguistics and offers valuable knowledge for the practice -oriented development of technical media for the fire brigade. This work was carried out as part of a research project of the BMBF and took place in a training center for fire brigade, such as Universi.uni-siegen.de reported .
