challenges for the fire brigade

"Of us, four turntables from different directions were used to specifically bring the water to the fire," explained fire brigade spokesman Thorsten Hintz. This measure was necessary because the risk of falling the building was great, so that an internal attack was no longer possible. The summer temperatures also make the extinguishing work more complex, which were made even more complex by the partially collapsed structures.

The exact cause of the fire is currently unclear. A terrifying scenario that draws attention to the need for effective fire protection measures. According to Feuertrutz, there has been no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany so far that could help to better understand and avoid such incidents. This shows how important it is to regularly update and supplement static data to fires.

The fire brigade is still on site and analyzes the location. The fire is not yet completely under control, so that the extinguishing work stops. Further forces from aid organizations are also to the site to support the fire brigade. The current situation is continuously observed and it can be expected that further information will be published during the day.

For the city of Quickborn, this is a significant commitment that puts both the fire brigade and the entire community to the test. Thanks go to all the emergency services who do their best to ensure the security of the citizens. It remains to be seen which teachings can be drawn from this fire and which measures are taken to prevent future incidents.
