Ashtray campaign in Tübingen: Fire brigade saves residents from smoke!
There was a fire brigade operation in Tübingen on Thursday evening that was triggered by an unusual accident. Shortly after 11:15 p.m., the smoke detectors in an apartment building on Herrenberger Strasse beeped loudly and immediately alerted the fire department and police. However, thanks to the rescuers' quick action, the all-clear was quickly given. GEA reports that the cause of the alarm was an accidentally knocked over ashtray that scorched the carpet in an apartment.
The fire department was on site with five vehicles and 23 emergency services. After they entered the apartment in question, it quickly became clear that no major fire had developed. One resident was taken to hospital out of an abundance of caution because smoke inhalation was suspected. There is currently no information about the material damage caused.
Fire brigade operation in Goslar
A similar incident recently occurred in Goslar. On December 13, 2023, the fire department and rescue service were called to Am Pfingstanger Street after the smoke detectors in a ground floor apartment sounded the alarm. Here, too, the fire chief noticed a slight smoke development upon his arrival.RegionalHeute However, the affected apartment did not open when the doorbell rang and knocked, which made the situation tense. Only when a family member rushed over with a key - presumably informed by residents - could the door be opened.
In the apartment, the team, wearing respiratory protection, found burnt food on the stove. Fortunately, the smoke had only spread slightly so that the rooms could be ventilated mechanically. After half an hour, the emergency services were able to hand the apartment back to the tenant in a smoke-free manner. A total of 19 emergency services and six vehicles were involved in this operation.
