Storm chaos in Bad Lippspringe: Fire brigade saves from a falling tree!

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, the Bad Lippspringe fire department was alerted at 9:31 a.m. to remove a fallen tree on Schützenweg. This tree was caught in another tree and was in danger of falling onto the road, which posed a significant risk, particularly to residents, pedestrians and cyclists. Quick intervention was required because the region was affected by a severe weather warning.

The fire brigade deployed an emergency fire fighting vehicle (HLF20) and an aerial rescue vehicle (GM32) and worked at the danger spot for almost two hours. This type of operation is not uncommon in Bad Lippspringe, as the fire brigade's recent activities show. On October 19, 2025, emergency services had to respond to a container fire on Detmolder Strasse, while on October 17 there was a trash can fire on Lindenstrasse.

Frequent fire service operations

The Bad Lippspringe fire department has been under a lot of pressure in the last few weeks. In addition to the operations mentioned above, there was also an alarm on October 16th when an oil slick was reported on the entrance to the B1. The firefighters were on duty here for around an hour to secure the road. This large number of missions shows that fire fighters are not only required to deal with fires, but also have to be on the scene quickly in other emergencies.

The fire department is supported by a well-organized operational plan and dedicated forces, which enables them to respond quickly and effectively. Their operations are an impressive example of the tireless commitment to the safety of citizens. The Bad Lippspringe fire department provides a detailed overview of the operational activities of the last few weeks on its website, which is updated regularly. A truly remarkable impression of the work of the volunteers who, in the background, make a significant contribution to security in the region.

Another operation that took place on October 11th impressively shows this high level of commitment: Here the forces secured the landing of a rescue helicopter in the Kurwaldstadion. Such operations illustrate how important it is for the fire brigade and rescue services to work together, especially in critical situations.
