Bomb find in Cham: disaster alarm and nightly evacuation!
On Wednesday evening there was a serious incident in Cham that called on the plan. At 7:32 p.m., an alarm was triggered due to a bomb find. It was a 250 -kilogram World War II bomb that was discovered near the train station. This was necessary for the district office to take a drastic step: under the head of operations Andreas Weichselgartner was triggered and the evacuation of the neighboring district was ordered, such as PNP reported
For the evacuation, around 40 rescue workers from the Red Cross from the district of Regen were mobilized. They came in a convoy that included a large number of rescue and patient transport cars, equipment trolleys and team transport cars. Support also came from all over Eastern Bavaria to safely evacuate the affected institutions, including the district clinic and a retirement home. All affected patients were brought to Regensburg, Roding and Bad Kötzting in clinics as well as in surrounding retirement homes. The use of the rescue workers lasted until the early hours of the morning until at 3 a.m. when the last transport was completed.
Successful defusing and relocation
The following Thursday there was another call for help at 3 p.m., but after successful bombing. After everything was clarified, the refuse of all patients and residents was organized. The BRK district manager Franz Lobmeier expressed a positive statement about the operational readiness and team spirit of those involved.
Similar incidents also occurred in Ettlingen at the beginning of the week, where a 1,000 kg flying bomb was found, which forced 1,500 people to evacuate. This was discovered in a new residential area during exploratory work, and the defusing was successfully carried out with an excavator at night. Tagesschau reports that unexpected weather conditions were difficult, but all residents were quickly back into their apartments after their defrostation returned.Ordinance of ordnance in the focus
In both cases, the ordnance disposal services were required, which have special knowledge of dealing with old ammunitions. As explained on the website of the city of Duisburg, explosives specialists are responsible for identifying the kind of blind passers and initiating the necessary measures. There are crucial differences between the surcharge and long-term racks that affect the evacuation and the defusing strategies. In addition to the immediate danger assessment, weather conditions and the condition of the bombs also play an important role in the security of the residents and the action of the emergency services.In direct situations like this, it can be seen how important well -practiced operational readiness is. The rapid and coordinated reaction of the rescue workers in Cham and Ettlingen has impressively demonstrated that large challenges can also be mastered.
