Entry fire in Bernstadt: smoke warning for the residents!

Bernstadt auf dem Eigen, Deutschland - A disturbing incident occurred on Sunday morning in Bernstadt, near Ulm. At 7:41 a.m., the fire brigade control center was informed about a fire in a garage complex, which resulted in heavy smoke development and considerable odor nuisance. The residents were immediately asked to close windows and doors, and precautionary measures were recommended to minimize the burden of smoke. The Tagesschau reports that the danger information was quickly spread and that the citizens are advised to bypass the affected area. Herrnhuter Strasse in particular is currently closed, while the emergency services are active on site.

The fire brigade, including the units from Langenau and Bernstadt, is in use with full strength, supported by a rescue helicopter. The exact cause of the fire is currently still unclear and is examined by the criminal police. The first estimates of the damage amount to at least 100,000 euros. It was striking that in the youth room of the fire brigade building, where the event took place on the night before the fire, a slice was determined.

Investigations run at full speed

The responsible persons of the event, which took place on the night, have not yet been achieved, which made the investigation difficult. In addition, a young man with bleeding wounds was found in the immediate vicinity of the fire. This is now also being examined. The police have brought in a drone relay and a duty duty district fire chief to secure the traces at the fire location and to collect further relevant information.

The situation is tense and the citizens are called to follow the announcements of the fire brigade and the police carefully. While the emergency services are still on site, there could be other developments about which the Südwest Press will report.

fire protection in focus

A brand new topic that is again in the light through this incident is the statistics on fire protection in Germany. Unfortunately there is no comprehensive and uniform fire protection statistics, as the Feuertrutz shows. This gap could certainly help that such causes of fire could be recognized and optimized faster. The various institutional statistics on fires, causes of fire or fire injured prove that prevention and quick action, as is in the current case, are of the greatest importance.

The current developments in Bernstadt show how vital it is to take the warnings seriously and act prudently in an emergency. Further information is to be expected and we will continue to observe the situation.
