Fire alarm in the Huk Arena: Futsal tournament in Coburg canceled!
An unexpected fire alarm caused excitement in the Huk-Coburg Arena on Sunday and caused the preliminary round of the Futsal Indoor Championships to be canceled early. During the exciting game between SV Friesen and FC Stockheim, the smoke alarm went off, leading to an immediate evacuation. The tournament, which was a highlight of the sports calendar for many spectators, had to be stopped abruptly. A similar incident occurred at the same arena two weeks ago, involving BBC Coburg supporters, adding to security concerns.
The Huk-Coburg-Arena, located on the Lauterer Höhe, is a central venue for sporting events in the region. However, the latest incident raises questions about safety, particularly around fire safety precautions at high-volume events. At a time when public events are attended frequently and with pleasure, those responsible must pay particular attention to sources of danger. According to [TÜV SÜD](https://de-brandschutz-informationsportal.tuvsud.com/artikel/Brandschutz-bei- Veranstaltungen.html), fires at mass events are rare, but they require extensive prevention and clear responsibilities regarding fire protection.
Fire protection in focus
As with most large events, a well-thought-out fire protection concept is essential. Responsibilities should be clearly defined in advance. Operators and organizers must ensure that appropriate security measures are in place. Every sporting event must have an evacuation plan that includes all necessary escape routes to ensure a quick and orderly evacuation. Such an escape and rescue plan in accordance with ISO 23601 is crucial in the event of an emergency.
The quick solution to the ranking of the last group of preliminary rounds, as reported by Fränkischer Tag, is a temporary relief for the teams and spectators who had invested time and effort in the competitions. However, the incident remains a serious issue for everyone involved who was inside the hall.
Given recent developments, it is important that arena officials take comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance. Especially since fire protection in large event halls is becoming even more important, as has already happened twice in a short space of time, this topic should not be taken lightly.
