Dresden (ots)

The second weekend of the new year was largely calm for the fire and rescue services of the state capital Dresden. The rescue service has been alerted a total of 544 times in the past 72 hours. An emergency doctor was called in in 216 cases. The rescue helicopter Christoph 38 had to be deployed within the city four times. Furthermore, 265 qualified ambulance transports were carried out.

During this period, the fire brigade was called to perform nine fire operations and in 35 cases to provide technical assistance. In addition, there were six false alarms caused by the triggering of automatic fire alarm systems.

The paper container is on fire

Wann:	8. Januar 2022 15:13 - 16:43 Uhr
Wo:	Asternweg

A container filled with paper and cardboard caught fire for a reason that was still to be determined. When the fire brigade reached the scene, flames and smoke were visible. Due to the high fill level and the narrow confines of the container, the fire fighting could not initially be carried out effectively. A swap truck with a crane was therefore requested to lift the container and empty the burning contents. After this took place, a squad wearing respiratory protection with a jet pipe was able to fight the fire quickly. Nobody got hurt. 14 rescue workers from the Löbtau fire and rescue station and the Gorbitz district fire brigade were deployed.

Garden shed burns down completely

Wann:	8. Januar 2022 15:41 - 16:17 Uhr
Wo:	Prießnitzstraße

The fire in a gazebo was reported to the integrated regional control center in Dresden. When the first emergency services arrived at the scene, a four-square-meter garden shed had burned down completely. The owner tried to put out the fire with water from a rain barrel. The fire brigade carried out an investigation with a thermal imaging camera and extinguished the smoldering remains with a jet pipe. The owner was examined by the emergency services as a precaution, but was released unharmed. 22 emergency services from the Albertstadt fire and rescue station, the Neustadt rescue station, the B service and the U service were deployed.

Kitchen fire

Wann:	9. Januar 2022 15:38 - 18:01 Uhr
Wo:	Kesselsdorfer Straße

For unknown reasons, objects on the stove caught fire in the kitchen of an apartment on the first floor of an apartment building. When the fire brigade arrived at the scene, smoke came out of an open window. The tenant of the apartment was able to escape into the open with her dog. However, her cat was still in the apartment. Two troops wearing respiratory protection went to the fire apartment to rescue animals and fight fires. The missing animal was found under a couch and rescued. The fire could be brought under control with a jet pipe. The affected area was ventilated and the surrounding apartments were checked by the underground service for any possible entry of smoke gases. This remained inconclusive. As a precautionary measure, one person was transported to a hospital with suspected smoke poisoning. 28 rescue workers from the Löbtau fire and rescue station, the Löbtau rescue station, the B service, the U service and the Gorbitz district fire department were on duty.
