The fire service of the fire brigade in Feldmoching
On Friday, August 9, 2024, a devastating fire occurred in a production hall of a steel and galvanic company on Lerchenstrasse, Munich. The alarm was triggered by the fire alarm system of the warehouse, which led to an immediate intervention by the fire brigade.
effects on the community
The effects of fire on the local community are significant. Over 200 firefighters from more than 50 emergency vehicles were on site to combat the major fire. The Munich fire brigade not only had to deal with the flames, but also ensure the safety of the residents. The various extinguishing trains, including support from aerial ladders, were used to prevent further spread of the fire, included in the spread to a gas bottle bearing.
cause of the fire and driven
The exact cause of the fire is currently being examined by the police. Particular attention is paid to the fact that a gas line caught fire. The fire brigade asked for a gas guard to monitor the situation. A structural engineer was also consulted to evaluate the structure of the hall. He issued a ban on entering because the dangers of a possible collapse exist.
The challenges of the fire brigade
The fire spread quickly and required numerous emergency services. Defects in the safe handling of materials in the hall could increase the risk of such fires. The emergency services worked for several hours on the containment of the fire and needed several thousand liters of extinguishing water to control the flames.
Future view and damage assessment
Currently the end of the use is not foreseeable. So far, property damage has not been quantified. The events in Feldmoching throw a light on the importance of fire protection measures and the risk that companies can assume that are not sufficiently prepared for such emergencies.
FAZIT
The fire in Feldmoching is a dramatic example of the challenges that fire brigade and rescue workers stand in front of. It also illustrates the need to carry out regular security checks in companies to ensure the safety of workers and residents.
