Roofing fire in the Kreuzviertel: Fire brigade successfully in action!

Kreuzviertel, Dortmund, Deutschland - in the afternoon, around 2:37 p.m., a roof truss fire broke out in the Kreuzviertel of Dortmund. The fire brigade reacted at lightning speed and moved up with two turntable ladders to fight the flames. It turned out on site that there had been repair work on the attic shortly before, which might have triggered the fire.

Although the fire had already affected the wood fiber insulation boards, the interior of the building remained intact. There were no people in the danger zone - a construction site employee was able to bring himself to safety in good time. Firefighters struggled with united forces to take the roof skin off and delete hidden embers. The rapid reaction of the emergency services ensured that nobody was injured and greater damage was avoided.
