Horror vacation on Usedom: Dishwasher sets on fire!
Loddin, Deutschland - An unforgettable vacation on the island of Usedom took a dramatic turn for some travelers on Saturday evening, June 28th. A fire broke out in a holiday apartment in Loddin, which was caused by a dishwasher that had caught fire during operation. Fortunately, the holidaymakers were able to bring themselves to safety in good time, but the apartment is now uninhabitable. The damage is estimated at around 50,000 euros, such as the Ostsee-Zeitung reported.
the fire was reported at around 7:30 p.m. to the operations center of the Neubrandenburg police headquarters. The alarmed voluntary fire departments from Loddin and Ückeritz were on site with a total of 14 forces. Fortunately, the fire was deleted before the police arrived. The guests in the affected apartment have tried to combat the fire, which ultimately was not sufficient to prevent the damage. All holidaymakers were accommodated in another accommodation.
technical defects as the cause of the fire
The reason for breaking out the fire is probably in a technical defect in the dishwasher. Councils of fire by such kitchen appliances are by no means an isolated case. According to the Brandschutz-Center , fire-threatening work and technical defects are among the most common causes of fire in households. Consumers should always be aware of the potential dangers that can emerge from older devices.
It is not the first time that a dishwasher causes problems in a living area. For example, there was a fire suspicion in Welslichtenegg, for example, due to a defective dishwasher that spread the smell of fire, but did not go up in flames. There the fire brigade also did a good job and was able to quickly bring the defective device outdoors, such as WT1 reported.
protective measures and caution
In view of such incidents, it is advisable to always exercise a certain amount of caution when dealing with electrical devices. Older models in particular can cause unexpectedly problems and represent a certain risk. It is particularly advisable to have fire -dangerous work carried out by trained staff to minimize fire hazards. The same applies to the use of hobby devices, such as hot glue gun or soldering iron - these can also quickly become the cause of the fire when handling improperly.Overall, this incident shows how important it is to regularly check your own home for potential sources of danger and to replace devices if necessary. We wish all vacationers on Usedom a still safe and relaxing time.
