Popcorn alarm at kindergarten: Fire brigade realizes exercise use!
Popcorn alarm at kindergarten: Fire brigade realizes exercise use!
On June 12, 2025, the forces of the Bubenreuth volunteer fire brigade were alerted to a fire alarm in the Catholic kindergarten at 11.19 a.m. The integrated control center (ILS) Nuremberg immediately sent the fire truck. Equipped with heavy breathing protection, the firefighters moved out to the site. The teachers who were already on site acted in an exemplary manner and brought all the children out of the go.
However, when exploring the premises, the emergency services quickly found that no smoke or fire could be seen. The alarm was triggered in a defective saucepan by a missed preparation of popcorn. The resulting steam had activated the fire alarm system. In order to free the affected rooms from steam, the fire brigade ventilated them thoroughly before handing over the site again. Fortunately, there were no injuries, which was a particularly gratifying result of this assignment.exemplary action by the teachers
A spokesman for the fire brigade praised the exemplary behavior of the teachers regarding the evacuation and improved communication during the incident. Her quick action ensured that all children were brought out of the building safely before the fire brigade arrived. This shows once again how important a well -functioning fire protection organization is in institutions such as kindergartens.
The importance of functioning fire registration systems becomes particularly clear by such incidents, especially when you consider that false alarms are not uncommon. As Fire Brigade Life reports, firefighters often find the announcement "incoming fire alarm system". Overall, real missions are rare, which results in a high false alarm rate. In fact, there are numerous missions in Bavaria in which the alarm by fire alarm systems did not lead to a current use.
A look at the past
A similar incident occurred on January 3., 2020 in Spalt, where a fire alarm system triggered in the city kindergarten, but was identified as a false alarm. Back then, numerous emergency services also moved to check the situation. However, everyone involved was able to move out quickly, since there were no irregularities on site, such as fire brigade Spalt informed.
In general, it can be seen that the alarm and outlet regulations in such cases often lead to a massive use of firefighters, even if the likelihood of real use is often low. A total of 300,000 non -acute operations per year are a challenge that could stimulate a rethink in the alarm strategy, especially not to overload volunteers.
In summary, it can be said that despite the potential challenges that fire registration systems bring with them, the right action with an alarm can be life -saving. The incident in Bubenreuth has once again proven how important training and good communication are in critical situations.
