sauna fire in Sankt Augustin: Fire brigade hurried to help

On Saturday afternoon there was a fire in Sankt Augustin-Schmerbroich that broke out in the sauna of a family home in the basement. More than 50 emergency services from the Sankt Augustin volunteer fire brigade were alerted around 5:50 p.m. to fight the fire. The mission was quick because the firefighters were prepared and quickly on site.

In front of the affected house, two residents were already waiting to be safe in good time. The emergency services carried out an investigation, but both remained unharmed. This shows how important it is to act quickly with a fire and get yourself to safety.

fires in private households, especially in rooms such as the sauna, can quickly become dangerous. Wood and other combustible materials are often present in these areas, and high temperatures can lead to a rapid spread of the fire. The fire brigade therefore warns to take the safety instructions for such facilities seriously and to check it regularly.

The causes of such fires can be varied, from technical defects to human failure. It is crucial that homeowners take precaution and are careful when using sauna systems. Careful maintenance and inspection can help minimize risks and avoid such incidents.
