Fire brigade use on A52: VW burns out completely - happy inmates!

On the night of December 1, 2024, the Essen fire brigade alerted a spectacular fire at Bundesautobahn 52, near the Essen-Kettwig junction. A VW car that went up in flames while driving presented the emergency services with a major challenge. Due to the geographical location-precisely on the border between the Ratingen and Essen fire brigades-both units were integrated into the operations at the same time, such as FireWorld reports .

When the firefighters arrived, the vehicle was already on fire. Fortunately, the occupants were able to flee and remained unharmed in good time. In order to quickly control the devastating fire, the fire brigades use two hand -held beam pipes under respiratory protection. The coordinated cooperation between the emergency services was extremely effective because the fire could be deleted quickly. Nevertheless, the car was no longer saved and burned out completely, reports Freenet .

For the duration of the extinguishing measures, the motorway was completely closed in the direction of Bochum, while the motorway police secured the site and initiated the investigation into the cause of the fire. The Essen fire brigade was used for around 45 minutes with two assistants, while the Ratingen fire brigade also supported several vehicles on site. This rapid intervention may have prevented the efficiency of fire work once again.
