Rescue service in Leverkusen: 122 missions in one weekend!
The fire brigade and rescue service in Leverkusen had an increased number of operations at the weekend. During a 24-hour period from October 11th to 12th, 2024, the emergency services had to complete a total of 110 rescue service missions and 12 fire brigade missions. This shows how much the helpers were challenged and how diverse the challenges were that they had to overcome.
A striking incident occurred at 11:26 a.m. on Saarstrasse, where a traffic accident between a car and a lamppost was reported. The driver of the vehicle was trapped in his car and had to be freed using hydraulic rescue equipment before being taken to hospital. Such situations often require quick action and precise work by the fire department in order to save the lives of the injured people.
Further fire department operations
Later, at 11:35 p.m., the fire department received several emergency calls due to an incident on the BAB 1 in the direction of Dortmund. On site it turned out that eight vehicles had driven over a barricade that was lying on the road. Luckily it was only property damage; no one was injured. These types of accidents demonstrate the importance of road safety and the correct use of construction site barriers.
In addition, the emergency services were also required to provide minor technical assistance. There was a trash can fire at a bus stop, which the fire department was able to quickly put out. The activation of a fire alarm system in Wiesdorf also required a quick and targeted response from the firefighters.
In summary, this weekend shows how complex the tasks of the fire and rescue services are. From traffic accidents to rescue operations and technical assistance – the emergency services must always be ready to react quickly and efficiently. The large number of operations is a clear sign of the need for a well-organized and highly qualified emergency service in the region. The work of the fire and rescue services is invaluable, and their unwavering commitment often prevents something worse from happening.
