Arsung in Pottenstein: Fire brigade prevents worse!

On Monday night, 14 firefighters moved in Pottenstein to fight a fire. When they arrive, the hood of a vehicle was already on fire. Thanks to the rapid intervention, greater damage on the adjacent house facade and on nearby motorcycles could be prevented. According to fire department spokesman Markus Hackl, the damage "a few minutes later" would have been significantly larger. The authorities suspect arson, since the examination was found for the use of a fire accelerator, as police spokesman Stefan Loidl explained to Noe.orf.at.

A little later, on the night of Friday, about 20 emergency services in Leesdorf had to cope with another car fire. Two vehicles burned out here completely, and the fire brigade also had to ensure the drainage of equipment into a channel. Unlike in Pottenstein, there is currently no evidence of arson, and the investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing. In St. Pölten there were previously a series of similar incidents in which six cars went up in flames last year; A suspect is now in custody, while reports are still on the guilt and the damage, such as brand-feuer.de reports.

Optimization of the cooperation of emergency services

Another focus is on optimizing the cooperation between the fire brigade, emergency services and the police. In many missions, these forces act hand in hand, which makes an efficient hazard defense and quick rescue of human lives. An example from the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration North Rhine -Westphalia shows that the major fire of a historical building was decisive for comprehensive cooperation between several fire brigades, police and emergency services in order to cope with the situation. The use required the mobilization of numerous fire engines and a large -scale barrier to ensure the safety of everyone involved, such as noe.orf.at explained.
