Great fire in Hartha: Mayor saves residents, firefighter injured!

In the late Saturday evening in Hartha, there was a dramatic fire in an apartment building that was reported around 9:15 p.m. The fire broke out in the roof structure of the building around 9 p.m., in which four people currently live. Mayor Ronald Kunze happened to be nearby and was able to bring the residents to safety before the fire brigade arrived. Fortunately, they have remained unharmed and were later spotted by emergency service employees.

About 90 firefighters from Hartha and surrounding cities such as Waldheim, Geringswalde and Döbeln fought against the flames. The extinguishing work was carried out with both the turntable ladder and under respiratory protection. An 18-year-old fireman suffered minor injuries during the missions and had to be taken to the hospital, as it was announced by a fire brigade spokesman.

Mayor provides crucial help

A remarkable aspect of the mission was the quick action by Mayor Kunze, who jumped to the residents in acute danger. He pulled the four residents out of the burning house and ensured that they were brought to safety and calm. This prompt reaction was crucial to prevent worse things.

Feuerwehr work lasted until the early hours of the morning. Although the emergency services gave everything, it turned out that the house remains uninhabitable. In order to temporarily accommodate the affected people, they will be accommodated by neighbors until a solution can be found. The police have now initiated investigations into the cause of the fire.

traffic impairments and security measures

As a result of the extinguishing work, the marketplace remained closed to traffic, which meant additional logistical challenges for the emergency services and residents. The work on site required comprehensive coordination and the commitment of everyone involved to stabilize the situation.
