Heckenbrand in Pfalzdorf: Fire brigade warns of negligent handling!

Buschstraße, 47574 Goch, Deutschland - Yesterday afternoon an alarming hedge broke broke out on Buschstraße in Pfalzdorf! A thuja hedge of about 50 meters in length went up in flames, trigger of the disaster: carelessly flamed work with a gas burner. The fire brigade was quickly on hand and used two jet pipes to extinguish the fire. However, the extinguishing work was difficult because the flames spread quickly and made breathing apparatus necessary.

The fire brigade has an urgent warning for the population: a negligent handling of gas burners can have devastating consequences! Fire risks through hedge fires are now more common than burning advent wreaths at Christmas time. The use of gas burners to combat weeds - especially near buildings as well as trees and large plants - should be avoided to prevent paid extinguishing rates.
