Tire fire on the A1: Fire brigade saves traffic from worse chaos!

In the night of Monday, the fire brigade was dramatic in Olpe, when a room fire broke out in a residential and commercial building on the street "zu Hilrtinghausen". The alarmed emergency services found a 58-year-old resident who was on a window on the first floor when the fire brigade arrived. He had discovered the fire himself and immediately chosen the emergency call. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the fire brigade, the man was saved via a turntable ladder and was then taken to the hospital with suspicion of flue gas poisoning, the Siegener Zeitung .

At the same time, a tire fire was reported on a truck on the A1 towards Vienna. The driver noticed the smoke development around 05:33 and immediately headed the breakdown bay. Emergency services from the Fire Brigade St. Florian, as well as volunteer fire departments from Ebelsberg and Rohrbach and a fire truck of the Linz professional fire brigade were quickly on site and were able to quickly control the fire. The incident led to short-term traffic disruptions on the busy motorway, but the route was quickly released again, such as Today.at reported.

In both missions, the coordinated procedure of the emergency services could prevent worse things. While life was quickly saved in Olpe, a threat to the other traffic could be averted on the highway. The investigation into the cause of the fire in Olpe has already been started and the fire location has been confiscated.
