Great fire on Gut Hillemann: Fire brigade saves Heiligenstadt!
Heiligenstadt, Deutschland - On June 24th there was a dangerous fire on the Hillemann Gut between Heiligenstadt and Günterode, which the local fire brigades presented with great challenges in the containment of a potential major fire. The fire brigade was alerted at 12:40 p.m. because unclear smoke developments were reported. When they arrived, building materials already stored outdoors burned and the flames had spread to a neighboring warehouse, a parked car and the adjacent embankment, such as the Göttinger Tageblatt reported.
To curb the spread of the fire, the emergency services used three jet pipes. After about an hour the fire was under control. For the extinguishing measures, the hall roof had to be partially opened with a turntable ladder in order to check the extinguishing success. Fortunately, an employee of the energy supplier found that the photovoltaic system on the roof was not a danger.
Water deficiency requires support
There was no extinguishing water available at the site, which is why further support from fire brigades from Günterode, Kalteneber and Uder was requested. These brought water to the site in commuting. The fire could finally be deleted around 3:30 p.m. Fortunately, nobody was injured from the residents; Only two firefighters suffered circulatory problems and had to be treated on site. More than 50 emergency services were involved in the extinguishing work. An exact amount of damage is not yet known.fire statistics in the global context
Such operations are not only relevant locally, but also lead a light on the global challenges in the field of fire protection. The current report of the CFS CTIF (World Fire Statistics Report No. 29) offers a comprehensive analysis of the fire statistics for 2022 and covers data from 55 countries that represent a fifth of the world's population. The statistics include information on fire brigade operations, fire victims and deaths in firefighters, as in the report on CTIF can be read.
Such analyzes are precious resources for the understanding of global fire trends. They not only help to increase the efficiency of operations, but can also be derived from new strategies for prevention and combating fires. A look at the international statistics shows that there are similar challenges in other regions in the world as here in Germany.
The missions, such as the Hillemann Gut, show the determined and quick reaction of the fire brigade, which often have to work under extreme conditions to protect human life and property.
