Strawberry field in danger: tarpaulin pulls through high -voltage line!

Schwabach, Deutschland - yesterday, on July 1, 2025, an unforeseen weather event in Schwabach caused excitement and considerable disorders. At 3:30 p.m. a 30 meter long tarpaulin was blown into a high -voltage line by a strawberry field. This situation was a serious danger for everyone present. The responsible emergency services, including the police, fire brigade, Stadtwerke Schwabach and the Tennet company, were immediately mobilized.

The authorities set up a 100 meter -comprehensive corridor to minimize the risk of grounding the tarpaulin. This procedure was necessary because the tarpaulin swung back and forth on the high -voltage line, which always required adjustments to the corridor. In order to ensure the security of the public, the federal road B2 between Schwabach and Wolkersdorf was blocked in both directions for two hours. The adjacent berry, a tennis court and a neighboring company were also evacuated as a precaution. Fortunately, there were no people in direct danger during the entire mission.

weather protection and security measures

The German Weather Service had predicted violent storms in Franconia for this day. Such warnings should not be underestimated, especially if you think of the recent incidents in Lower Saxony, in which three children aged eight, ten and twelve years had to be saved from a closed car. The children searched for protection in their parents' car during the strawberry picking and were freed from the fire brigade after about 25 minutes in which they were threatened by the heat. This had shaded the vehicle with ceilings and cooled it with water before a window had to be smashed to save the children.

In Schwabach, the dangerous situation could be defused faster. After switching off the current flow, specialists secured the tarpaulin by climbing a current mast. This makes it clear how important it is to be well prepared in such weather symptoms and act quickly.

The incidents in Schwabach and Lower Saxony clarify that everyone should be careful, especially with summer activities outdoors, be it when picking strawberry or other experiences. Fortunately, while the situation in Schwabach dissolved without injuries, the memory of the partial fate remains in the heat. In summary, it is always advisable to pay attention to weather warnings and take appropriate safety precautions.
