damage and fire fighting

The damage caused by the fire is considerable. The car was completely destroyed, and the garage itself and a neighboring garage were also damaged by the flames. It is estimated that the total damage amounts to around 15,000 euros. Such incidents arouse memories of the vulnerability that you often forget in everyday life - everything can be different in one moment.

In addition to the direct damage, the fire also causes environmental problems. The extinguishing agents used to combat the fire have contaminated nearby waters. This is a strong reminder about how important it is to think about the possible consequences for the environment when fighting fire. In order to fix this pollution, a special unit was hired by the lower water authority.

The voluntary fire brigades from estrum, Bad Salzdetfurth, Breinum, Wehrstedt and Bodenburg as well as the fire brigade centers were deployed to tame the flames and bring the situation under control. Two ambulances from the Arbeiter-Samariter-Federation were also on site to ensure medical care as quickly as possible.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation that is carried out by a radio patrol of the Bad Salzdetfurth police. The puzzle of the outbreak of fire could possibly bring dangerous information about fire risks in residential areas to light. The residents on site are concerned that this could not have been the last time that such a danger exists in the immediate vicinity.
