Fire brigade in action: fire in a former restaurant in Wenden!

A dramatic fire brigade operation shook Wenden on Thursday morning, November 14th! A fire broke out in a former restaurant on Matthiasstrasse, which immediately attracted the attention of the fire department, rescue service and police. The emergency services were quickly on site to fight the flames and prevent anything worse from happening.

Initial reports from the Olpe district police authority indicate that the fire broke out in a false ceiling. The firefighters from Wenden, Gerlingen and Hillmicke immediately mobilized their forces, set up a water supply and started the extinguishing attack using breathing apparatus. During the operation, smoking objects were also removed from the former inn to further minimize the danger. Luckily there were no injuries, which makes the situation a little easier.

Fire investigators on the trail

After successfully extinguishing the fire, the fire department handed the site over to the police. A fire investigator from the criminal investigation department was commissioned to investigate the causes of the fire. Solving the incident could be crucial to preventing similar disasters in the future. In another incident in Bestwig, three people were injured in a fire in a semi-detached house and a dog did not survive the fire. The fire department is under high pressure to ensure the safety of citizens and avoid such tragic events.
