Great fire in Dresden suburb: Fire brigade fights with flames!

In Dresden, a major fire in Dresden has been in focus in an empty station building in Leipzig suburb. A dangerous fire broke out in the early morning hours, which, thanks to prudent measures by the fire brigade, could be brought under control. Around 45 firefighters are currently in use, supported by a drone relay to monitor the situation as best as possible. On the site of the old Leipzig train station, where the fire broke out, the property has been rapidly overgrown and the building is even at risk of collapse, which makes the extinguishing work significantly more difficult, such as MDR reported.

The fire brigade is fighting with a special challenge: deletion is only possible from the outside, and the use of aerial ladders is extremely complicated. Nevertheless, the radiance of the fire could be interrupted and the spread of the flames was stopped, said fire department spokesman Michael Klahre. The extinguishing work should last until the afternoon, and a follow -up of the fire site is planned for the evening. A warning message due to heavy smoke development, which initially applied to residents within a radius of 1,000 meters, was lifted in the late morning, since the smoke development has significantly reduced.

no danger for residents and the surrounding area

The fire brigade calms down the residents: immediate dangers do not assume a neighboring petrol station area. In addition, another fire in Eisenbahnstrasse, just a few meters away, was quickly deleted. However, only debris burned there in another empty building. The police have already started to investigate the cause of the fire and to collect more information on site to collect more information on n-tv.

The situation around the causes of fire is complex in Germany. According to the Institute for Damage Control and Damage Research, there is a lack of extensive and uniform fire statistics that could help improve fire protection. A compilation of current statistics and data could therefore be of great benefit to cities and municipalities to better prevent fires in vacant buildings such as this in the future, according to [Feuertrutz] (https://www.feuertrutz.de/statistaken-brand protection).

For the fire brigade and the investigators, the focus is now on clarifying the cause of the fire, while the residents may breathe a sigh of relief; At least for the time being, the danger seems to be banned. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense, and the extinguishing work is still in the hands of the emergency services that take a good hand.
