Alleged truck fire in the Dölzschen tunnel
October 15, 2024, 3:57 p.m. – 4:50 p.m
BAB 17 Prague-Dresden
On the afternoon of October 15th, the Dresden Integrated Regional Control Center was informed of a truck fire in the Dölzschen tunnel. According to the operational plan, a total of 80 emergency services from the professional fire brigade, volunteer fire brigade and the rescue service were immediately alerted and dispatched to the scene. However, the first forces to arrive were quickly able to give the all-clear: it was not a fire, but rather an engine failure that resulted in a leak of operating fluid. The fire brigade secured the scene of the accident and collected the spilled liquids. All other emergency services that were alerted were able to cancel their journey. Traffic came to a temporary standstill in both directions. The site was eventually handed over to the police, who gradually lifted the closures.
