Drama on the old town island: major fire in Lübeck apartment building!

in Lübeck there was a fire in an apartment building on the old town island on Friday morning. Around 9:54 a.m., the Lübeck fire brigade received an alarm due to strong smoke development on the first floor of the building. Due to the special conditions in the old town, where the streets are partly narrow and the access is difficult, the fire brigade was alerted with two extinguishing trains and support from volunteers.

The measures for fire fighting were challenging on site. The emergency services first had to find various access routes to the affected apartment to assess the situation without clearly knowing whether people were in the apartment. This uncertainty increased the urgency of the situation. The fire apartment had a high fire load, which was additional risks for the firefighters.

technical difficulties and evacuation

The fire brigade not only fought against the flames, but also against the smoky conditions that made it difficult to quickly locate the origin of the fire. Due to the risk, the other residential units of the house were cleared as a precaution. Fortunately, the fire brigade reported that there are no personal injury to the current date, which is positive for the residents.

The joint efforts of the Lübeck fire brigade and the volunteer fire brigade are particularly important in such a complicated commitment and testify to the high professionalism of the emergency services. These events remind us of how critically fast reactions in emergency situations are and how important it is to be prepared for such difficult locations.

The exact cause of the fire is currently being determined, and the fire brigade is expected to remain at the site in the coming hours to ensure collateral and to evaluate the damage incurred. The location on site remains tense, but the fire brigade's forces have been well organized and prepared to deal with the challenges.
