If you enter "tire fire" on YouTube, you can quickly see what can happen if a tire bearing catches fire. Once the black, round things have caught fire, there is always a need and it can take a long time for such a fire to be extinguished.
KURZ Karkassenhandel in Landau has therefore been a training ground for the voluntary fire brigade for years. This was also the case on June 5.6.2019th, 19.00 on the company premises in Landau. At 24:3 p.m., the voluntary fire brigade in Landau received the test alarm. In a very short time, XNUMX firefighters in full respiratory protection equipment with four vehicles (one emergency fire engine, two personnel carriers and a tank fire engine) and a telescopic mast arrived. The task was to extinguish the fire and "save" XNUMX dummies.
The fire brigade besieged the company premises with great effort: they pulled out ladders, placed the vehicles strategically, rolled out hoses and very quickly each of the 24 firefighters found their place of action.
The operations manager, Andreas Döring, was impressed. He thanked the voluntary fire brigade, which in turn is very grateful that the company offers the opportunity to carry out such exercises.
"Exercise missions like this are absolutely necessary, especially for young helpers in the voluntary fire brigade - only if we develop a routine during exercises can we get fires under control safely, quickly and reliably in an emergency," confirmed the operations manager.
