Fire alarm in Höhr-Grenzhausen: Thujahecke opens in flames!
in Höhr-Grenzhausen, a tranquil city in Rhineland-Palatinate, occurred on Monday, October 7, 2024, which appeared harmless at first glance. Around 2:30 p.m., a Thujahecke at Höhenstraße 23 ignited, which led to a rapid use of the fire brigade.
The fire arose when the owner of the hedge commissioned a friend to remove weeds. For this purpose, a flame device was used that was connected to an 11-kilogram-butchas bottle. The strong heat that was generated during the flames led to an adjacent Thujahecke opened in flames over a length of eight meters.
use of the fire brigade
Fortunately, the Höhr-Grenzhausen fire brigade, supported by the weirs from Hillscheid and Hilgert, was able to intervene quickly and extinguish the fire. A total of 29 firefighters were deployed, which underlines the efficiency and coordination of the emergency services. According to reports, however, the mission was not without consequences; While fortunately no people were harmed, some plastic roller shutters and window frames of a opposite rental building were damaged.This incident illustrates the risks that exist when using flame devices. Even if these devices are used for weed control, you can quickly cause dangerous situations when handling improper handling. The fire of only a small part of the hedge could have caused much greater damage in combination with the prevailing weather conditions and the proximity to residential buildings.
The rapid and effective use of the fire brigade prevented worse and shows the importance of a well -organized fire brigade that can react quickly in an emergency. Even if no people were in danger, the action is an urgent indication of how important security and caution are in dealing with fire -dangerous devices.
