In total, the fire brigade counted 15 missions during this period between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. These included several fires caused by fireworks and technical assistance, some of which also required other emergency services to be alerted. How goodnews4 reported, the operations included, among other things, catching a runaway dog and securing a roof on Fremersbergstrasse, where parts of a tin roof were in danger of falling.

Thanks to the rapid intervention of the fire brigade, the flames were prevented from spreading to adjacent areas. However, the emergency services were attacked with rockets and firecrackers during this operation. Luckily no one was injured.
