Fire brigade in continuous use: Car fire ensures traffic jam on the BAB 45!

Dortmund, Deutschland - on February 6, 2025, around 6:40 a.m., the Dortmund fire brigade was alerted to a car fire on the BAB 45 motorway. The incident occurred in the direction of Oberhausen, shortly before the Dortmund-Witten motorway junction. Because of the extinguishing work, the highway had to be temporarily completely blocked, which led to a considerable backlog during rush hour traffic. Thanks to the rapid use of the fire brigade, the fire could be quickly brought under control, so that after about 45 minutes a lane could be released. The construction of a rescue alley, which the emergency services of the Feuerwachen 4 (Hörde) and 8 (Eichlinghofen) made, made it easier to establish the approach, as reported [fireworld.at].
