Fire brigade fight: kitchen fire delayed by parked cars!

On Friday, the fire brigade in Hildesheim was massively hindered by parked cars when they arrive to a kitchen fire in Augustastrasse. The alarm entered at 5:50 p.m. when a smoke detector triggered in an apartment. But the fire trucks and the aerial ladder could not get to the scene unhindered, which significantly delayed the response time. On site, the emergency services discovered smoke from the affected apartment, which clarified the urgency of use.

After gaining access by violence, the firefighters found the cause of the smoke: burned food on the stove. The fire was deleted quickly and the apartment was ventilated with a high -pressure fan. Overall, the assignment took about 45 minutes for the apartment to be handed over to the owner again. The fire brigade again appeals to the public to keep access for rescue vehicles free, because every second counts, as the incident shows. Firefighters are repeatedly hindered by incorrect parking, which can lead to dangerous delays, reports www.hildesheimer-allgemeine.de .
