Three fire brigade operations in 24 hours: Alarm in Rehburg-Loccum!

In the municipality of Rehburg-Loccum, three missions of the fire brigade occurred within 24 hours to overcome a wide variety of challenges. The first assignment occurred on Tuesday at 10 p.m. when a fire of a tree stump on the bike path between Rehburg and Mardorf was discovered. Due to unexplained causes, the fire broke out before the fire brigade manually cut the tree stump and deleted the fire with a C-jet tube. The entire use lasted 45 minutes.

On Wednesday at 11:38 a.m., the fire brigade was alerted to a nursing home in Winzlar after a fire alarm system had triggered. However, it turned out that it was a false alarm, so that no measures were required on the part of the fire brigade.

use at construction site

On Wednesday afternoon, the third assignment was at a construction site in Rehburg, where a craftsman had seriously injured and had to be saved by a flat roof. The fire brigade Rehburg, the emergency services and the aerial ladder of the Nienburg fire brigade were on site. The craftsman could be fetched quickly with the aerial ladder from the flat roof and was then handed over to the emergency services.

The challenges from fire alarm systems are not only an issue in Rehburg-Loccum. According to [Fire Brigade Life] (https://www.feuerwehrleben.de/brandmeldlaschenlagen-fluch-oder- or), firefighters often find the announcement "incoming fire alarm system" as annoying. Real inserts triggered by fire alarm systems are usually rare and often only make up a low single -digit percentage range. With a BMA alarm, the entire operating program is usually activated, which binds additional resources, even if false alarms occur frequently. A consideration of this problem is of increasing importance for many fire departments.
