Operating report: Rauch alarm turns out to be a harmless cake scent

fire brigade restores calm in the communal environment after several missions

Herdecke (ots)

last night the Herdecke volunteer fire brigade was employed with several missions that underline both the security of the citizens and the importance of the right emergency reports.

rescue operations and their challenges

On Tuesday at 9:16 p.m., the fire brigade was called in the way to the poethen because a helpless person was suspected behind an apartment door. Thanks to the quick contact with the person concerned, it was ultimately able to open the door independently and thus clarify the situation. Another similar incident occurred at 11:54 p.m. on Bahnhofstrasse, where a cleaner reported a possibly helpless person in a closed toilet. Here, too, the fire brigade could quickly give all -clear, since the door was opened independently by the person concerned.

Unknown smoke development: Clarify misunderstandings

Another use began at 8:03 a.m. when the fire brigade was alerted to an alleged smoke development in Ruhrallee. Residents had noticed a fire in the garden of a neighboring house. When the fire brigade arrived, it turned out that only a cake was baked in the oven, which was slightly burned and spread an unpleasant smell. The use could be broken off abruptly after the emergency services had received access to the building. This illustrates the importance of a brief review of the actual situation before emergency calls are discontinued.

sustainable awareness formation for the community

These incidents show the need for a sensitive approach to emergency calls. To check in good time whether there is a real danger or whether it is a misunderstanding, resources of the fire brigade can protect and contribute to the fact that it can be traded quickly and targeted in the real emergency.

future prospects and other missions

In addition to the missions mentioned, the fire brigade undertook an animal rescue on the Ender Talstrasse on the same morning. Such operations are not only signs for the flexibility and versatility of the volunteer fire brigade, but also for their commitment in the service of the community.

The events of the previous night illustrate how important it is to act correctly in emergencies and also to take into account the responsibility of the citizens in order to avoid unnecessary missions.
