Large deployment in Hessisch Oldendorf: Fire in the oxygen camp raises the alarm!

Hessisch Oldendorf, Deutschland - yesterday night there was a large fire brigade mission in Hessisch Oldendorf. At the BDH Clinic, a fire broke out in the oxygen warehouse, which led to an alarm on fire level 4-this means the highest willingness to alert. City fire chief Tobias Ebbighausen received initial information about rising smoke during the journey and turned out to be a harbinger of the worst. Flames in the oxygen bearing not only endangered the building, but also the security of the surrounding area, because oxygen bottles have a high risk of explosion.

Overall, firefighters from twelve cities and villages were deployed to control the fire. Special caution was advised because the fire brigade initially had to extinguish from a safe distance. Emergency and ambulances were requested from the districts of Hameln-Pyrmont and Schaumburg. The police blocked the location of the scale, while the fire was already "in full fire" around 7:50 p.m. and required a person with suspicion of flue gas poisoning for treatment.

crisis management in an emergency

Such a more difficult Situation requires precise planning and coordination. As a precaution, the use of a mass attack by injuries (MANV) was triggered, which means that the number of injuries exceeds the regular resources of the emergency services. The MANV is proclaimed according to the standard DIN 13050: 2021-10 if there are more than 50 injuries, which has not been achieved in this case, but preparations for such scenarios are essential. Many emergency services are trained on quick and effective reactions to keep a cool head in such emergency situations.

In order to be well equipped for such emergency situations, the emergency services conduct a triage to categorize the patients after the severity of their injuries. Serious injuries become immediately, while slightly injured get later treatment. This process is absolutely necessary to optimally use the available resources. The fire brigade plays a central role in this - be it in patient rescue from danger areas or when securing the site.

flames spread further

Although the fire brigade quickly tackled reins, the flames spread into the roof of the building, which led to firefighters opened the roof skin around 9:15 p.m. to fight the fire. The emergency services came from different locations, including Hessisch Oldendorf, Barksen, Großenwieden, Rohden and many more.

The investigation into the cause of the fire was recorded by the police. The fire brigade, supported by the Hameln fire brigade with a turntable ladder, was still in progress when the situation could be brought under control. Where the flames are going to destroy remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: preparations for such events are crucial for people's safety. It is all the more important that the firefighters are always ready to face the challenges.

The action carried out yesterday shows impressively how important fast reactions and clear communication are in dealing with emergencies. Even if the causes of the fire are unknown, the emergency services have done their best to defuse the situation and violate safe treatment, which is of the utmost importance in such a case.
