Drama in the Brunnsole: Large Fire Brigade at Gardena Brand!

Barmker Straße, Emmerstedt, Deutschland - drama in Helmstedt: Garden on flames!

In the early morning hour of October 25, 2024, at 9:01 a.m., a gazebo in Emmerstedt burned between Emmerstedt and Barmke, more precisely in the Brunnsole. The message reached the emergency services and quickly pulled heavy smoke across the sky, which confirmed the urgency of the Situation. Immediately the local fire brigade Barmke started with a fire -fighting attack, supported by the fire brigades from Emmerstedt and Helmstedt, which strategically secured the rear side of the gazebo.

Five fire brigades in large -scale use!

When the situation worsened, the Mariental and Grasleben local fire brigade was alerted to support, which moved out with water -bearing vehicles. A big problem: No hydrant was available on site! So water had to be transported to the site in the pendulum traffic. Several squads fought against the fire under respiratory protection and performed three extinguishing pipes. The gazebo, with an area of ​​around 100 square meters, turned out to be a persistent enemy. The fire fighting pulled in length, while a wheelbagger put the rubble to the side and the last embers were covered with foam. After about four hours the assignment was almost over.

Another important aspect: The local fire brigade offleben-Reinsdorf was consulted to clean the polluted respiratory protection devices of the emergency services and provide new ones. The district fire brigade also had to intervene to ensure the exchange of respiratory protection devices on site. So that the brave firefighters did not get out of balance in these long and exhausting work, the catering unit of the district fire brigade caused cold drinks and snacks. Operations manager Nils Sage and his team mastered the challenge confidently!
