Grand fire on the railway line: 250 firefighters fight for flames!
A major fire on the railway line between Schönebeck and Calbe in the Salzland district has kept the emergency services in suspense in the past few days. According to information from stern.de , large parts of the railway embankment also took fire to surrounding grain fields. The incident was brought under control on Wednesday evening, but remaining extinguishing work is still necessary where around 250 emergency services are on site.
The flames had affected a considerable area of about 24 hectares. A train is regarded as a presumable trigger of the fire, which made the situation particularly critical. Farmers provided support by transporting extinguishing water to the herds of fire in order to relieve the fire brigade when combating the fire.
fire in Schönebeck: emergency services in continuous use
There was a major fire that broke out in Schönebeck in the early morning hours of the same day. Around 200 straw bales were affected on a open space near the old city harbor in Alt Frohse. According to Volkstimme.de the forces reported the fire shortly after 1 a.m. concerned to extinguish the fire. The fire brigade, the police, the regulatory office and the municipal building yard were involved.The city army manager Daniel Schürmann reported that the Ranies fire brigade hurried to support with a tank fire engine and a foaming. Rad loaders were used to hit aisle and thus facilitate access to the herds of fire. Straw bale fires are a special challenge because access is often difficult. With a targeted foam attack, the fire brigade was finally able to contain the flames.
scope of operations and preventive measures
Around the fire in Schönebeck, additional units of the fire brigades from Elbenau, Felgeleben and Tischlerstraße were requested for support. The strong smoke developments led to preventive measures for residents who were supposed to keep their windows and doors closed. Fortunately, there were no injuries during the missions. The extinguishing water supply was ensured by the stable hydrant network of the municipal utility, and at around 10.30 a.m. the fire could be deleted.
The follow -up of the use included the thorough cleaning of the vehicles, equipment and operational clothing, so that the fire brigade was fully operational again a short time later. Statistics on fires, causes of fire and their consequences are essential for fire protection in Germany, as is highlighted on Feuertrutz.de . Each gap in statistics could make future missions more effective and increase the safety of the population.
