Fast action by the fire brigade prevents major fire in Niedhorbach

On Friday evening, a fireplace fire broke out in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, which was able to prevent a much larger disaster thanks to the rapid reaction of the fire brigade. The fire occurred around 5:49 p.m. in the Niederhorbach district in a wooden single -family house with two extensions. Usually a fireplace fire is usually brought under control by a chimney sweep, by special tools to remove the constipation.

In this special case, the fire had already jumped to surrounding bars, which led to visible fire in the chief, explained operations manager Henning Eckschlag. When the fire brigade arrived, reinforcements were requested immediately because the situation was assessed as critical. Both of the municipality quickly moved in to combat the fire.

The arrested firefighters pulled all the stops and were able to quickly control the fire. The 73-year-old resident of the house and his 58-year accompaniment, who had made the emergency call, stood outdoors. However, their own extinguishing attempts had led to both of them inhaled some smoke. They were examined by the emergency services on site, but fortunately nobody had to be taken to the hospital.

operations manager Eckschlag noticed that due to their extinguishing actions on the fireplace, the residents could have been seriously in danger if the fire brigade had not reacted so quickly. "We have ventilated the house thoroughly. But one night the two have to sleep somewhere else," Kickschlag informed the media. This means that the two have to be accommodated somewhere else until the situation in the house is fully clarified. The fire's fast reaction was crucial because the fire was noticed at dusk. If the incident had taken place at night, the outcome might have been very different.

The quick action of the Neunkirchen-Seelscheid fire brigade not only averted greater damage to the building, but also prevented worse for the residents. Sometimes the small decisions and quick action can have a big impact in emergencies. For more information on this incident, See the current report on www.rundschau-online.de .
