Fire inferno in Kiel-Gaarden: stroller burns, several injured!
There was a dramatic fire in an apartment building on Wikingerstrasse in Kiel this morning. The fire department was alerted around 4 a.m. after receiving several emergency calls about a fire in the stairwell. The cause of the fire was a burning stroller that was parked in the stairwell and quickly burst into flames. The emergency services from the eastern fire station, main fire station, northern fire station and the Elmschenhagen volunteer fire department were promptly on site to act quickly and prevent anything worse from happening.
The stairwell was heavily smoked, which meant the fire brigade had to work under breathing apparatus. An attack team fought its way into the burned-out room and brought the stroller outside where it could be extinguished. But the consequences of the fire are devastating: one person was injured and was taken to hospital. In addition, two attic apartments are currently uninhabitable, which is bitter news for the affected tenants.
Risk for residents and emergency services
Firefighters determined that the stairwell posed a significant danger to residents, requiring abseiling for two people who were rescued from the affected attic apartments. The attic apartments have been severely affected by the fire and the associated damage, forcing the fire department to monitor the situation until further notice.
The quick response of the emergency services may have prevented something worse from happening. The rapid deployment of turntable ladders and breathing apparatus ensured an orderly procedure. “The quick firefighting operation and the evacuation of the residents were crucial,” explained a fire department spokesman. A sense of responsibility and organization worked hand in hand during this operation to avert a catastrophe.
Conclusion: Safety first
Fire in apartment buildings always represents a high risk for the residents. The rapid and coordinated response of the emergency services made it possible to prevent something worse from happening in this situation. The fire department appeals to all citizens to take their fire safety precautions seriously and not to place flammable materials in the stairwell in order to avoid such dangerous situations. As KN Online and Presseportal report, the damage situation and the health of the Residents have top priority.
