Großweitzschen secures extinguishing water supply: New system is coming!
The fire brigades and the citizens in the district of Großweitzschen are allowed to breathe a sigh of relief: a latent problem of extinguishing water supply for years will soon be remedied. How Sächsische.de reports, a foldable fire water cistern will soon be set up in the district. This measure has come after several large fires in recent years, in which the extinguishing water often had to be driven by tank fire engines - a cumbersome and often inadequate solution.
House and straw bale fires in particular have disclosed the defects in the water supply. Although the municipality has been planning to build a fire water withdrawal office for a long time, there were some hurdles in terms of financing. An underground cistern was originally considered, the costs of which were between 80,000 and 100,000 euros. However, due to the lack of funding from the district, the municipality had to fall back on its own funds. The company Veolia Wasser GmbH now offers a solution: instead of the more expensive cistern, an above -ground, foldable fire water pillow is installed.
The details of the new fire water supply
The pillow has a size of 6 x 8.50 meters and a height of 1.45 meters. Up to 50 cubic meters of water can be saved. Similar extinguishing water pillows have already been successfully installed in the adjacent districts of Döbeln as well as Waldheim and in the municipality of Jahnatal. Such mobile cisterns are particularly valued due to their flexibility. You do not need a concrete foundation or construction pit and can be set up quickly, which is particularly advantageous in regions with limited infrastructure, such as how Veolia.de emphasized.
There are also valuable information on the use of cisterns Brand-feuer.de. Cisters are collection containers that not only serve as a fire water supply container in the event of a fire, but can also be used for drinking water and utility storage. They start rainfall and save valuable water in times with little rain. Cisters are an important element for precaution, especially in low -water areas.
The perspective for Großweitzschen
The installation of the extinguishing water pillow is a step in the right direction and shows that in Großweitzschen a good hand is put in the day. Mayor Dirk Schilling from Jahnatal emphasizes how important such cisterns are for security in the event of a fire. Reliable extinguishing water supply is a decisive factor, especially in rural regions.
In conclusion, it can be stated that the measures to improve extinguishing water supply in Großweitzschen not only increase the security in the community, but also strengthen the trust of the citizens in the fire service. In this way, the municipality will be better prepared in order to be able to meet possible fire brigade operations quickly and efficiently.
