Major fire in Marienhagen: Fire brigade prevents major disaster!

In Marienhagen on November 1st there was a dangerous shed fire that broke out on Schöne Aussicht Street at around 10:53 p.m. The larger shed, which was attached to a horse stable, was already fully ablaze when the fire department arrived. However, thanks to the quick intervention, the flames were prevented from spreading to the roof structure of the adjacent garage, which prevented major damage. Only the roof overhang of the garage was damaged.

The fire brigade's operation was over at around 3 a.m. A total of around 90 emergency services from the fire departments in Marienhagen, Thalitter, Obernburg, Vöhl, Herzhausen and Ederbringhausen were on site. The Korbach police and the Promedica rescue service were also on duty. Municipal fire inspector Marco Amert, who led the operation, was satisfied with the cooperation between the various fire departments. Particular attention was paid to the residential building, which remained smoke-free and habitable through targeted ventilation measures. This meant that the residents could also remain calm.

Technical defects as suspected cause of fire

The estimated material damage amounts to around 30,000 euros. Initial investigations into the cause of the fire have shown that a technical defect in an electric fence device is being considered. Even if the fire department acted quickly and effectively in this case, the question of liability remains. In such operations, a liability privilege applies: The fire brigade is only liable for intentional or grossly negligent damage, so that emergency services cannot usually be held responsible for normal incidents, such as damage that occurred during the firefighting operation [die-versicherer.de reports].

Damage that occurs during emergency response is typically covered by residential building and contents insurance, but not by measures taken by the fire department itself. The liability privilege is intended to enable emergency services to act quickly and save lives, even if the situation subsequently turns out to be harmless.
