Dresden in alarm mode: 251 rescue operations and dramatic fires!

In the past 24 hours, there was a lot going on in Dresden again in terms of the use of fire brigade and emergency services. The emergency services moved out a total of 251 times, a sign of the lively work that is done there. With 80 of these missions, an emergency doctor was even necessary, which illustrates the urgency of some situations. The rescue helicopter Christoph 38 was requested four times to quickly help and provide injured people. Among the missions were 176 qualified ambulances that ensured smooth transportation of patients.

Another remarkable aspect was the fire brigade, which was called for six fire missions. In addition, there were 19 missions for technical assistance, including supporting traffic accidents and eliminating expired equipment and wearing aids for the emergency services. It should be noted that no false alarms were registered by automatic fire alarm systems, which speaks for a certain level of reliability.

special missions in Striesen and Gorbitz

A highlight under the operations was the successful animal rescue of a wall socket on July 7th in Mosenstrasse, Striesen. The bird was in a predicament, trapped between the house facade and the roof. An attentive ornithologist discovered the animal and was able to alert the fire brigade, which used a turntable ladder to free the wall sailor. Fortunately, after an examination by a scientist, the bird was released into freedom.

Another use that attracted more attention was the fire fire in Dresden-Gorbitz. On the same day, around 5 p.m., a strong smoke development informed the emergency services. When she arrived, there was no statement at the house entrance, but the balcony was already in full fire, dense smoke penetrated from an adjacent window. Fortunately, everyone had been able to leave the building unharmed. The fire brigade quickly got down to business and used a hollow jet tube to fight the flames. Several squads were in use to control both the fire apartment and the balcony and prevent the smoke from spreading. A smoke curtain was also activated and the stationary smoke suction system of the building was used. The fire apartment remains uninhabitable at the current time, and the police have investigated the cause of the fire.

fire brigade in constant use

The fire brigade in Dresden has established itself as a valuable institution that is not only in demand for fires, but also in many other emergencies. Whether burning cars or even forest fires, their missions can play a crucial role for the population. As can be read on Tag24 , the fire brigade is often also called for evacuations of schools or evacuation of the main station, which indicates the versatility of its possible uses.

A look at the international situation shows that the CTIF IMPARTICS MAGATISTICS also makes a relevant contribution. In the current issue of the report, which has been published since 1995, fire causes are examined in 66 countries. The “100 Cities - 100 Years” project offers valuable insights into the development of urban fire risks and sees itself as a resource for the evaluation of fire protection in urban areas. The data collected obliges us to take the fire protection challenges seriously, which are characterized by technical and cultural developments. The development of fire risk in the largest cities worldwide is also considered, which is important for Dresden as a big city.

Overall, it can be seen that the emergency services in Dresden have been strongly challenged in the past few days and that they are always available for both emergencies and special challenges. The fire brigade and the emergency services make it once more clear how important their daily commitment to the security and well -being of citizens is.
