Fire in Horb-Talheim: Dramatic use of the fire brigade prevents worse!

A dramatic fire shook Horb Talheim on Sunday afternoon! At 2:51 p.m. the fire brigade was alerted, as flames broke out on a balcony of a single -family house and quickly attacked the facade and roof. The Horb A.N. fire brigade moved with several departments to prevent the impending catastrophe.

When the first emergency services arrived, the situation was already dangerous: the fire had already eaten in the insulation and threatened to let the roof structure open in flames. Deletion measures were initiated under respiratory protection immediately, but the fire brigade faced a challenge: the area concerned was unavailable with the aerial ladder! Therefore, additional units and special devices had to be requested to combat the fire.

With an enormous personnel and material effort, the fire brigade opened the roof skin inside the house. Thanks to a fall protection device, the roof could be entered and covered. The burning insulation was completely removed and deleted on the ground. A total of 77 firefighters and 15 vehicles were deployed, including units from Dettingen and Grünmettstetten. The regular rescue service and the DRK local association Talheim ensured the safety of the emergency services and offered warm meals.
