Fire brigade alarm in Norddeich: holidaymaker mistakes smoker for fire!
In Norddeich, a small town in the Aurich district, the fire department was alerted on Wednesday afternoon. A holidaymaker noticed smoke behind a hedge and feared a garage fire. What the local holidaymaker didn't know: Behind the hedge there was a completely different story. The fire department received the emergency call and responded quickly, but instead of a smoldering garage fire, the emergency services found a harmless smoker.
As ndr.de reports, the owner of the oven was currently smoking eels. “The smell of freshly smoked fish can cause confusion,” one might say, but the smoking process was not yet complete. A look at the eels revealed that they were not yet ready to eat and therefore not enough for all the emergency services present.
A misunderstanding with a happy ending
When the fire brigade arrived, it quickly became clear that the supposed danger was nothing more than the smell of the smoker rheinpfalz.de underlines. The owner did not respond to the holidaymaker's calls, which made the situation even more strange. Ultimately, the fire department did not need to continue its operation and left without taking any further action.
This episode shows once again how easy misunderstandings can arise when it comes to dealing with fire. The element of fire often attracts a lot of attention, especially among children. How to use it should be taught conscientiously in order to avoid starting fires or even preventing serious situations. In any case, in-depth knowledge is required, as can be read in the teaching materials from dguv-lug.de, which contain important information about fire safety and the correct use of ignition materials.
Fortunately, everything ended well here and holidaymakers in Norddeich can continue to enjoy their stay, perhaps even with fresh eels from the neighbor's smoker. In any case, they had a good knack for dealing with the fire department, even if it wasn't necessary in this case.
