Gohrischheide, Deutschland - in Altenburg there was a serious incident today: an accident related to a fire causes excitement in the region. The cooperation between the fire brigade and the Technical Relief Agency (THW) takes on an increasingly important role. Reports from News.de, the fire brigade is currently in use in the Gohrischheide, where a stretched out is currently Brand stove must be fought.
The THW shows itself as an indispensable partner in water logistics for extinguishing water supply. The emergency services use modern technology such as high -performance pumps, mobile water containers and extensive hose lines to supply the fire brigade with sufficient extinguishing water regardless of existing infrastructures. Helpers from the THW pump water from a gravel pit near Boragk and transport it over a 2.5 km long hose route to the herds of fire.
efficient water logistics in use
To supply the fire brigade and farmers with water, three THW water bubbles are available. The performance of the large pumps of the THW, which are able to transport up to 25,000 liters of water per minute, is particularly impressive. There are only ten such THW large pumps throughout Germany, two of which are located in the Saxony and Thuringia State Association. One of them is stationed in the Riesa local association, the other in Apolda.

The THW specialist group water damage/pumps, which is represented nationwide over 80 times, come into play in such operations. They specialize in combating floods and actively help to eliminate water and mud from affected buildings and traffic routes. This not only provides water for fire fighting, but also sewage pipes can be built or repaired to restore the infrastructure as soon as possible.
joint use against nature forces
The need for effective fire brigade supports is particularly high in the current situation. Like Zeit.de , 1,000 emergency services fight against the devastating forest fires, which have already destroyed 2,100 hectares in the Gohrischheide. Over 200 volunteers from 19 local associations of the THW have been mobilized in order to transport water to the fire sites and fill the pool for extinguishing rates.
The location remains tense, and the importance of water in combating vegetation fires cannot be assessed high enough. The THW not only ensures technical support, but also the safety of the emergency services through comprehensive logistics measures.
Preparations for fire fighting are immense, and the cooperation between different emergency services shows what is possible if everyone pulls together. Whether in forest fires or other disasters - the tireless use of the volunteers gives the population hope and security.
