Fire in the gazebo: Fire brigade prevents the trees from falling!
This morning, the Oberhausen fire department was alerted at 9:32 a.m. to a fire in an allotment garden on Weseler Straße in the Alsfeld district. A sobering scene awaited the emergency services on site: a 4 x 4 meter gazebo was completely on fire. The flames were already threatening to spread to surrounding trees, which made the situation dangerous. But the fire department arrived quickly and was able to start extinguishing the fire immediately.
The Oberhausen fire department's emergency services initiated extinguishing measures using three C-pipes. Lo and behold, the flames were quickly brought under control and finally extinguished. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this operation. The operation was over around two hours after arriving. However, the cause of the fire remains unclear at the moment and there is no information about the extent of the damage. The police have started an investigation to get to the bottom of the matter, as lokalklick.eu reports.
Additional information about the cause of the fire
Fires in allotment gardens are a serious issue. Many factors can lead to such an incident, and last year's cause statistics show that improper use of fire and barbecue equipment in particular can often lead to fire damage. This is also one reason why police investigations are so important. It is not only important to clarify the current incident, but also to develop preventative measures to prevent future fires, as the [IFS](https://www.ifs-ev.org/ Schadenverhuetung/ursachenaktien/ursachenstatistics-brandschaeden-2024/) informs.
The fire department showed a good hand here by reacting quickly and effectively before the fire could spread further. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the estimate of the damage caused remains speculation for now. In such cases, it is crucial that residents remain vigilant and follow safety rules in their yard. Because there is something to be said: safety comes first, and quick firefighting can often prevent something worse from happening.
We will keep you updated on further developments. The incident reminds us how important the work of the fire brigade is and what risks exist in such facilities. Stay safe!
