Flammeninferno in Westmecklenburg: Over 15 hectares of arable land in danger!
Flammeninferno in Westmecklenburg: Over 15 hectares of arable land in danger!
In the Westmecklenburg region, two fire events were reported today, which kept the emergency services in suspense. Between Wittenburg and Lehsen, in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district, a fire spread over an area of 15 hectares of arable land. The risk of spreading towards a nearby settlement meant that a total of 15 volunteer fire departments were mobilized in order to keep the impending disaster at bay. Fortunately, the fire could already be deleted, no injuries were reported. Security is going on, there is something!
Another fire location was found in the village of Mecklenburg, where a gazebo on Rambow went up in flames. Here five voluntary fire departments were deployed, which were confronted with heavy smoke development and high flames. The rapid intervention of the fire brigade prevented worse and there were no injuries.
The challenges for the fire brigade
The fire brigade's challenges should not be underestimated, especially if you consider that the emergency services also have previous missions. On July 8th, 2023 a fire was reported in the roof structure of a fast food restaurant in Wittenburg. This event led to an elaborate use in which a person had to be taken to the hospital due to flue gas intoxication. A firefighting comrade suffered a strain in the thigh during work. Despite the difficulties, the fire brigade reported "fire" at 6:00 p.m. and needed the whole assignment to get the embers under control.
Nevertheless, the commitment of the firefighters was exemplary. The emergency services were immediately on hand from different communities, including from Dreilützow, Perdöhl and Hagenow. Thanks also to the ASB Regional Association Süd-West-Mecklenburg e.V. and the DRK Rettungsdienst Parchim Ludwigslust gGmbH.
worldwide fire statistics
It is interesting that such operations not only documented locally, but are also considered globally. The CTIF World Fire Statistics Center collects and publishes data about fires worldwide. This information is not only revealing for firefighters, but also for everyone who is interested in the development of fires. In the statistics it can be seen that each country uses different methods for data acquisition, which can influence the interpretation of the results.Overall, it can be seen that the constant vigilance and the fast action of the firefighters are essential in order to quickly combat fires and minimize damage. Whether in Wittenburg, village of Mecklenburg or elsewhere - the lightning -fast reaction in an emergency makes a big difference.
