Fire of a car crane: A42 free again - fire brigade warns of slow drivers

meaning of security on motorways: an incident that stimulates thinking

The recent events related to a fire from a car crane on the A42 not only influenced traffic in the region, but also raised questions about safety on our highways. In the afternoon, the crane engine flares between the Gelsenkirchen-Heßler and Essen-Alten dinner junctions. Fortunately, the driver of the crane was unharmed and was able to drive on the hard shoulder in time.

willingness to cooperate with the fire brigades

The fire message meant that both the Essen fire brigade and the Gelsenkirchen fire brigade were immediately alerted. In an impressive example of the cooperation, the two fire brigades sent several emergency vehicles to the scene of the accident. The fire was largely deleted within about 60 minutes, which is also due to the quick reaction of the emergency services.

security measures for road users

Another important aspect of the incident was the subsequent cleaning of the road. By using extinguishing foam and leaving hydraulic oil, the roadway had become slippery, which required thorough cleaning by a special company. This shows how quickly an accident not only has direct dangers, but can also have long -term effects on the infrastructure.

public appeals for traffic safety

The fire brigade took the opportunity to address an important appeal to road users. At the point of view, drivers should never stop on the oncoming lane or reduce their speed just to observe the incident. Such behavior not only endangers one's own life, but also the lives of other road users and the work of the emergency services.

conclusion: an opportunity for reflection

The fire of the autocrane on the A42 reminds us of the importance of caution and respect in road traffic. While the incident was lucky without any injuries, he gives the reason for reflection on security measures and the responsibility that every road user bears. In view of such events, it is important that we are all consciously and safely on our roads.
