Beamfire in Gangkofen: Fire brigade in large -scale use due to clouds of smoke!

Gangkofen, Deutschland - A harmless campfire in Gangkofen caused a lot of excitement on Wednesday evening. A dark cloud of smoke was visible in the industrial area, which immediately alerted the fire brigade. At around 8 p.m., a large contingent of fire departments was called to the region to ward off possible dangers. Shortly afterwards it turned out that it was a controlled fire of a resident, as the Eggenfelden police confirmed on Thursday. The fire brigade Gangkofen, which was on site with four vehicles and 22 emergency services, reported that no intervention was required.

In addition to Gangkofen, the fire brigades from Panzing, Massing, Hörbering, Seemannshausen, Malling and Wiesbach were also alerted. Such missions show how important the organization of the fire brigade is for potential fire hazards. Such incidents often result in unnecessary fears, especially when smoke clouds become visible. The handling of open fires can also be designed as long as the residents observe the guidelines.

The dangers of Rauch

Rauch is not only an optical phenomenon, but also harbors great dangers. As explained in an article by Feuertrutz, various fire gases arise in fires, which consist of a mixture of oxids and solid particles. These substances can be very dangerous, especially at high concentration and if you are exposed to them for a long time. There is smoke that occurs in a multiple of the original volume if handling false.

An important aspect of fire protection is smoke extraction. It is supported by systems that help with the deletion of fires but are primarily intended to protect people. Smell systems can dissolve smoke through openings in the roof. A safe handling of fire and the installation of such systems can be decisive in an emergency.

smoke alarm and fire protection

Another topic that should not be forgotten in the discussion about fire protection are smoke alarms. Every year, over 600 people die from fires in Germany, with the greatest danger often from the toxic smoke that can lead to suffocation. Experience from other countries shows that the use of smoke detectors can significantly reduce the number of brand deaths. In the United States and Great Britain, the number fell by about 40%, even by 50%in Sweden.

Unfortunately, only 5% of households in Germany are equipped with functioning smoke alarms. This shows that a lot of educational work is still necessary. Especially at night, when the sense of smell is sleeping, the risk of the residents is higher to be surprised by a fire. A VDS-recognized smoke detector can already raise the alarm and save lives with a low smoke concentration.

The events in Gangkofen illustrate how important a responsible handling of fire and the preparation for any fire are. The exchange of information and the right equipment can bring the decisive advantage in an emergency.
