Fire alarm at a dream wedding: bridal couple with fire department in the picture!

A celebratory evening at Chateau Moyland in Bedburg-Hau took an unexpected turn on Saturday when an alarm startled the wedding party. At around 6:00 p.m. the automatic fire alarm system sounded, alerting the Bedburg-Hau volunteer fire department. What had happened?

A fallen candle ignited a table arrangement in the outer bailey café while the guests celebrated happily. The shock was great, but the wedding guests reacted quickly, grabbed the burning arrangement and carried it outside. Thanks to the quick reaction, something worse was prevented and the fire brigade only had to intervene with ventilation work and a short follow-up inspection. Municipal fire inspector Klaus Elsmann led the team of 20 emergency services who were quickly on site to defuse the situation. Local click reports on the smooth cooperation between the fire brigade and the guests and the fact that the smoke disappeared quickly while the good atmosphere remained.

A special memory

The bride and groom, perhaps a little excited but still happy, were not distracted by this event for long. To thank the emergency services, a souvenir photo was taken that captured the special evening in a new light. After the little incident, the celebration continued with even more enthusiasm, and the wedding party didn't let the excitement stop them. WDR reports that despite the horror, the celebrations remained in full swing.

The incident perfectly shows how important it is to think about safety even on festive occasions. In times when events are becoming increasingly popular, fire protection is an issue that should not be underestimated. Fire safety regulations are crucial to ensure guest safety. Firefly Crew explains that fire safety regulations apply to all events, regardless of whether they are open air or in an event hall. This includes not only the use of safe materials, but also the presence of fire extinguishing equipment and regularly reviewed fire safety regulations.

The option of renting tested fire extinguishers for events, as offered by Firefly Crew, ensures even more safety. This way you can organize a safe festival that not only gives the visitors but also the organizers a good feeling.

Overall, the incident at Moyland Castle showed that security and celebration can definitely go hand in hand. A small moment of shock that impressively demonstrated how important quick action and good preparation are. And so future weddings in Bedburg-Hau can take place with a smile and the certainty that help will be there quickly in an emergency.
