Fire brigade Herdecke draws a quiet balance: heavy rain without major missions!

The HERCEDE fire brigade draws a quiet record for the Pentecost weekend! Despite several heavy rain cases, the weekend remained largely free of use. On Saturday evening, June 7th, the rescuers were alerted at 6:23 p.m. for a reported smoke development on the church in Dorfweg - the catchphrase was "forest fire". But it quickly turned out on site: the smoke came from a large fire bowl in a garden. The onset of heavy rain ensured increased smoke development that made residents concerned.

The fire brigade did not have to intervene and was able to cancel the operation at an early stage. "Despite the capricious weather, it was relatively quiet overall," said a fire brigade spokesman. A positive sign of measured calm in extreme weather!
