Fire brigade St. Georgen saves neighbors at the spectacular fireplace fire!

On Friday evening, the St. Georgen volunteer Fire brigade had to react quickly when a fireplace fire was reported. Neighbors had alarmed the fire brigade after watching horrified how sparks flew out of the chimney. To prevent worse things, the fire brigade immediately started cooling the fireplace and the roof. At the same time, a chimney renovation specialist company was consulted to assess the situation and minimize the risk of fire. The fire brigade stayed on site until the experts arrived and took care of the securing of the situation before returning to the fire station, as on Noen.at .

important role of the fire brigade

The importance of fire departments is particularly recognized in Hesse, where each city or community has to set up a suitable fire brigade. This is a central element of fire protection and general help in emergencies. There are only seven professional fire brigades in Hesse, while over 2,430 local and district fire brigades are operated by volunteers. These committed volunteers take responsibility for fire protection and receive support from the state government, which provides financial resources for vehicles and equipment, such as Feuerwehr.hessen.de reports .

The training of the firefighters, especially at the Hessian State Fire Brigade School in Kassel, plays a crucial role in the operational readiness of the voluntary and full -time forces. Thanks to these extensive training courses, the fire brigades manage to react quickly and effectively to emergencies such as the fireplace fire in St. Georgen.
