Fire brigade extinguishes burning garbage can at Hückeswagen school

In the cityHückeswagenThe fire brigade was called to an operation at the Wiehagen community primary school on Friday evening. The alarm was raised after reports of a fire in a bin on school grounds were received.

When the fire brigade arrived, the initial reports were confirmed. Unknown people had apparently brought a garbage can onto the soccer field and set it on fire. In order to prevent major damage to the artificial turf field, the firefighters quickly pulled the burning barrel off the field, explained Morton Gerhardus from the fire department. This rapid action made it possible to avoid possible consequential damage.

Rapid intervention by the fire department

The fire was quickly brought under control using a small fire extinguisher and was extinguished after about 30 minutes. This rapid response by the emergency services prevented the situation from escalating and ensured that the damage was limited.

After the fire was extinguished, the police called in took over the investigation. No details about the extent of the damage are currently available as the investigation is still ongoing.

This incident raises questions because setting trash cans on fire is not only a violation of the law, but also highlights a problem with vandalism that can be seen in many cities. It remains to be seen whether the investigation will lead to the perpetrators and what measures will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future. The relevant authorities are keeping an eye on the situation and are committed to preventing similar incidents.
