Great fire in Rohrbach: 60,000 euros in damage due to weed control!

in Rohrbach, in the district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, there was a serious incident on Thursday morning. An 80-year-old man tried to free his private parking by weed by burning the weed. However, this led to a fire that quickly got out of control and put a neighboring hedge on fire. According to information from Augsburger Allgemeine Burned 35 meters of the hedge and a supply vague parked was also significantly damaged.

The residents of the quarter recognized the emerging fire and immediately alerted the fire brigade, which was quickly on site. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the residents, worse could be prevented. The resulting total damage is estimated at around 60,000 euros, which concerns not only the personal finances of the polluter, but also the security awareness in the community.

safe use of fire

The Pfaffenhofen police inspection has already pointed out the dangers of similar practices in response to the incident. In the past few weeks there have been increasingly reports on comparable missions and fires in which the cause of the fire was quickly identified. Despite the rains of the past few days, the plants are still dry, which increases the risk of fires. The police warn for caution and recommend keeping a secure distance when using fire, especially in dry periods and, if necessary, to consider alternatives to combat weed.

The challenges of vegetation fires have increased in Germany in recent years. As can be read on Secure-feuerwehr.de , emergency services are often confronted with major fires in fields, forests and outdoor areas in the course of the vegetation fire fighting. This can bring considerable dangers for the firefighters and often leads to serious injuries.

The beams of fire protection - whether the city or municipality - are obliged to take measures in order to minimize such hazards. This also includes the implementation of a risk assessment for the safety of the emergency services and the selection of suitable personal protective equipment.

conclusion

In summary, this incident in Rohrbach once again shows how important a responsible and safe handling of fire is. It is important to keep an eye on your own security and that of the others. Anyone who works with flames should be clear about the weather conditions and, if necessary, fall back on less risky methods of weed control. Further information on the safe procedure for combating vegetation fires can be found on the fire brigade and the police. A look at Police Hessen can also offer helpful information.
