Major operation in Binz: Fire brigade alerted because of mysterious fog!
On the night of Monday, June 23rd, a remarkable incident occurred at the Total gas station in Binz, which caused a major alarm among the local fire departments. The sales area of the gas station was suddenly enveloped in thick smoke, which mobilized emergency services from Binz, Bergen, Sassnitz, Putbus and Zirkow. For a short time, the situation was more serious than expected because the fire department initially identified the smoke as actual smoke from the fire Baltic Sea newspaper reported.
Fortunately, the cause of the thick fog turned out to be an electrical fog system that was installed as part of safety technology. This type of system is designed to deprive burglars of visibility and orientation by enveloping rooms in a nearly opaque fog within seconds. The alarm had been triggered by a motion detector, presumably when a harmless moth flew around. The operator Iven Behrenwolt immediately gave the all-clear: There was no fire or attempted break-in to report.
The function of the fog system
The fog, which initially seemed worrying for the fire department, turned out to be safe and not a health risk. These special fog systems are important in bridging the time between the triggering of an alarm and the arrival of security forces, which is on average five to eight minutes. During this time, burglars can often cause considerable damage. But those Freihoff Group makes it clear: With a fog system, the visibility and orientation options of potential perpetrators are significantly restricted.
It was this technology that proved to be the key to security, as the fog system was automatically activated when the burglar alarm went off. Fire chief Alexander Schnitt expressed concerns about the neighboring buildings, particularly a workshop, and emphasized the importance of professional security solutions.
Protection and security in practice
Like that Blockalarm team As explained, the QANTUM® fogging machine is particularly effective for easily visible objects. It is often used in shops, but also in private environments to prevent break-ins. In addition, the installation of such systems is important for specialist companies to ensure safety and security.
Fortunately, everything remained calm during the fire department's operation and the gas station's customers did not notice the incident. After about an hour, the thick fog was blown out of the building using a ventilation device and the gas station was able to continue operating without interruption. The neighbors were not concerned because they were aware of the gas station's security measures and knew the procedures well.
Overall, this incident impressively shows how important modern security technology is in today's world, not only to protect against burglars, but also to avoid misunderstandings in an emergency. We can't wait to see how the technology will continue to develop to provide even more security and protection.
