Smoke development in Korbach: Fire brigade saves from oil fires!
A dangerous incident kept the Korbach fire department on its toes on Sunday, August 10th. At around 5:45 p.m., an emergency call came from Berliner Strasse, where heavy smoke was coming from an apartment in an apartment building. City fire inspector Carsten Vahland quickly took over command of the operation and mobilized the core city fire brigade's fire brigade as well as the respiratory protection emergency teams from Lelbach and Nordenbeck. This quick reaction proved to be crucial - the smell of fire was already noticeable throughout the stairwell, indicating a serious situation.
When the fire brigade arrived, a team wearing respiratory protection carried out an interior attack and opened the apartment door. With a watchful eye on possible dangers, the turntable ladder was positioned in front of the building as a precaution. However, the emergency services quickly discovered on site that there was no open fire in sight. The cause of the smoke was a pot of hot oil on the stove that was switched on. Fortunately, there were no longer any people in the apartment at the time.
Efficient fire brigade measures
The fire department specialists were on the scene immediately, secured the pot and the stove and technically ventilated the apartment to remove the smoke. The entire operation lasted around 45 minutes, during which the emergency services were also supported by the emergency services and the Korbach police station. After the operation, the firefighters restored their readiness at the base in order to be prepared for possible further operations.
As current operations by the Korbach fire department show, this was not the only operation in the last few days. On August 9th, for example, there was an assistance operation in Entengasse where baby carrier services were needed. In addition, the fire alarm system on Bahnhofstrasse was triggered on August 8th. This large number of operations illustrates the important role of the fire department in everyday life.
Fire statistics and safety
The importance of fire protection and quick action becomes clear when you look at the nationwide statistics on fires and their causes. According to [FeuerTrutz], there are no uniform fire statistics in Germany, which makes it difficult to identify precise trends and risk factors. However, regular fire safety updates are important to minimize potential hazards and increase public safety.
The fire departments are always careful to be there for the citizens. Regardless of whether it is a case of burning oil, false alarms or other emergencies - the preparedness of the emergency services deserves the highest recognition and shows how important a well-trained fire department is for the community. Every operation, like the one on Sunday, helps save lives and minimize damage.

For the safety of our cities, it is essential that we all remain vigilant and alert the fire department immediately if we suspect fire or smoke. This is the only way to prevent something worse from happening!
