Drama in Lübeck: Fire grabs itself - residents urgently evacuate!

Lübeck - A serious fire in a residential building in the heart of Lübeck provides excitement and additional security precautions for the residents. The fire brigade faces enormous challenges, since the fire is already threatening other apartments.

The emergency services urgently asked the residents to keep their windows and doors closed and switch off all ventilation and air conditioning systems. This is a precaution to prevent the spread of the smoke. Police spokesman, however, emphasize that there is no acute danger to the surrounding neighborhood at the present time.

emergency services fight with a confusing situation

The fire broke out on Friday morning in an apartment on the first floor of an apartment building. When the emergency services arrived, they found that the rooms in the apartment were overcrowded with clothing and other objects. This made access to the fire site extremely difficult. Therefore, firefighters had to use special equipment - they use chainsaws to open both the window and the apartment door and create access.

This unusual approach was necessary because the thick smoke development led to it was still difficult around 3 p.m. The smoke spread to the second floor and to the attic of the five -story building.

Behind a broken window, clothing and waste piled up, which made the extinguishing work even more difficult. The residents of the neighboring apartments also have to evacuate their apartments in order to get to safety.

rescue campaigns run

The fire brigade has now removed a variety of objects from the apartment. A picture of the chaos shows that the garbage and the dried objects are partly thrown onto the street and partly removed in order to enable better access. Firefighters have been commissioned to curb both the dangers of flames and possibly poisonous smoke.

It is particularly worrying that a person in the apartment affected continues to be suspected. This leads to intensive search and rescue activities by the fire brigade. At the same time, a snack car of the German Red Cross is ready to supply the exhausted emergency services.

Currently, Kanalstraße in Lübeck remains closed to traffic to offer the emergency services enough space for their work. The entire situation is expected to remain tense because the fire brigade is fighting against the consequences of a massive fire.
