Quick help in Constance: Balcony fire quickly deleted!

Konstanz - On October 4, 2024, a balcony fire occurred on Mainaustraße in Constance, which broke out around 2:15 p.m. Fortunately, all people remained intact, and the fire brigade was able to intervene quickly to extinguish the fire and prevent spread.

Equipped with a C-pipe, the type of hose used for fire fighting, the firefighters immediately fought against the fire. In the meantime, another squad under respiratory protection went into the affected apartment to ensure that the fire had not covered the living space.

This procedure is crucial to ensure that the fire does not develop unexpectedly.

After about 45 minutes, the operation was successfully completed. The apartment was handed over to the residents, which, thanks to the rapid reaction of the fire brigade, were preserved from greater damage. The police have now started the cause of the fire to determine how the incident came about.
