Grünburg: Tour dryer fire through quick action without injuries

Friday afternoon there was a mission in Grünburg that attracted the attention of several firefighters. Four fire departments were on site after a tumble dryer in the basement of a house had risen in flames.

The situation could have had serious consequences if the homeowner had not reacted quickly. He was able to curb the fire with a fire extinguisher, which prevented a worse development. The alarmed firefighters then arrived and continued to carry out the extinguishing measures. Together they ensured that the burning device could be brought outside and safely deleted.

The intervening emergency services

The emergency services use all available funds to control the situation. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the homeowner and the coordinated commitment of the fire brigades, the situation remained under control, and there was no injuries. This once again shows the importance of quick action in emergencies.

Preventive measures such as the constant review of household appliances, especially devices such as tumble dryers, could help avoid such incidents. Information about fire hazards in connection with electrical appliances is also of great interest to the general public.

A more than positive coincidence was that the fire could be contained quickly and without personal injury. Such incidents urge us to remind us that in everyday life we should continuously be aware of the dangers that can be assumed by our household appliances.
