Danger of fire on New Year's Eve: Fire brigade saves the day from worse!

On New Year's Day 2025, the comrades of the Pöchlarn Volunteer Fire Department were called to an operation after an alert driver noticed smoke and firelight in a field. When they arrived, the fire department discovered that a battery box had caught fire. The small-scale operation was quickly extinguished with a bucket of water and there were no injuries. To ensure that no embers remained in the adjacent grass or bushes, these were also checked before the emergency services moved in again at around 1:30 a.m., as [meinkreis.at] reported.

Flame inferno at gas station

A dramatic incident occurred on the morning of November 24, 2024 at a gas station in Bergkirchen. At 10:29 a.m., numerous emergency services were alerted after a car, a Smart, caught fire at the gas station. Thanks to quick and targeted action by the fire department, the flames were successfully prevented from spreading to the gas station itself, which could have had serious consequences. The fire brigades from Bergkirchen, Eisolzried and Feldgeding were on site, and after the extinguishing measures were completed, the police took over the fire site, as [kbi-dachau.de] reported.

In both cases, the fire brigade demonstrated quick action and effectiveness to prevent worse consequences. Whether in the field in Pöchlarn or at the gas station area in Bergkirchen, the emergency services were there to put out the fire and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
