Fire brigade Leverkusen in action: Christmas Eve full of challenges!

Maria-Terwiel-Straße, 51377 Leverkusen, Deutschland - On Christmas Eve, the fire brigade Leverkusen was challenged several times. At 2:07 p.m., a fire was reported in a house connection box on Maria-Terwiel-Straße in Alkenrath. The emergency services, consisting of two professional fire guards, an ambulance and the volunteer fire truck Schlebusch and Steinbüchel, were quickly on site. Thanks to the use of carbon dioxide extinguishers, the fire could be deleted without injuries. However, the electricity had to be switched off in the area for around three hours, as the fire brigade informed about the Nina Warnapp. A total of nine vehicles and 27 emergency services were used to control the situation, reported Ksta.de .

In addition, the fire brigade received several reports on oil traces in the urban area, especially on Mühlenweg in Bürrig and on the Alkenrather and Tempelhofer Straße. Here, the fire brigade secured the rainwater drains to avoid pollution of the sewage system. In the meantime, an assignment was also necessary to free several people from an elevator in Hitdorf. Fortunately, these were unharmed. Another alarming incident occurred in an apartment on Fährstraße, where the smoke detector jumped. The fire brigade had to break the door and quickly realized that the apartment was smoky but nobody was present, which could have triggered a fire.

Special use in Girbelsrath

In the neighboring region of Girbelsrath, there was also a fire service deployment due to a fire detector in an industrial company. The fire brigade was alerted at 9:27 a.m. on Thursday morning after a fire alarm system hit. The emergency services that were immediately incorporated discovered a little smoke that was caused by a fire in a ventilation system. The company employees had already deleted the fire themselves and brought the affected module outdoors. The fire brigade only carried out reversal work and used high-performance fans to free the hall of Rauch before handing over the object to the operator again after about an hour, such as Feuerwehr- Zäch.de reported.
