Fire in Wittliche Discotheque: dramatic large -scale deployment of the fire brigade!

A dramatic fire in a discotheque in Wittlich caused excitement on Sunday morning (November 17, 2024)! At around 10 a.m., the firefighters were alerted when flames broke out in the counter area of the popular night club. The Wittlich fire brigade immediately reported that the situation was serious and that quick action was necessary!

The emergency services faced a huge challenge: the front door was heavily secured, which made access to the discotheque considerably more difficult. They fought their way through the obstacle with an engine cut. "The procedure was associated with considerable risks," said the military leader, since the dense smoke development in the basement brought with it the risk of a dangerous flash out - a sudden explosion of the flue gases. But the brave firefighters could not be stopped!

large -scale operation of the fire brigade

Around 60 firefighters were in action, supported by rescue workers from the German Red Cross and the police. Despite the dramatic circumstances, the emergency services managed to completely extinguish the fire within an hour. The former cinema on the upper floor was also checked to ensure that the fire could not spread further. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the total economic damage to the building is considerable.

The exact causes of the fire are still unclear and the police have started the investigation. One thing is certain: thanks to the fast and professional intervention of the fire brigade, worse was prevented. The discotheque remains closed for the time being, while the investigation is ongoing and the damage is examined.
