Safely into the new year: This is how the Rhein-Sieg district is preparing for New Year's Eve!
A comprehensive security and rescue concept is being implemented in the Rhein-Sieg district for the upcoming New Year's Eve. According to a report by ksta.de Two additional ambulances were manned that night. Emergency medical vehicles are now available around the clock in Bornheim and Hennef. The district police have not announced any special measures and no prohibition zones have been designated in the district. However, the federal police have extended the weapons ban zones in train stations beyond New Year's Eve. Federal police forces are on standby in Sankt Augustin. Deputy District Fire Chief Daniel Walter emphasizes increased vigilance during this time.
In addition, the Windeck Volunteer Fire Department will maintain its readiness from home and appeals to the emergency services to minimize the consumption of alcohol. Fire stations in Sankt Augustin are staffed to ensure quick accessibility. The Rhein-Sieg district also warns against a ban on fireworks in nature and landscape protection areas. Fireworks can not only stress domestic animals, farm animals and local wild animals, but can also pollute the environment through deposits of black powder, paper, plastic and harmful ingredients.
Safety measures of the emergency services
The rescue service is also on duty on New Year's Eve. As the Johanniter report, the goal is to minimize the number of missions. Important points for safe firecrackers include the proper use of fireworks and avoiding danger to yourself and others. Parents are encouraged to ensure that children celebrate safely and under supervision.
Christian from the Johanniter rescue service emphasizes that a clear path for emergency vehicles is of the utmost importance. Alcohol is a common topic on New Year's Eve and its influence should not be underestimated. It can change the perception of pain and cause aggressiveness and a distorted assessment of the situation. First aiders should take these aspects into account in dangerous situations, especially when it comes to handling fireworks while intoxicated.
