Emergency night for fire brigade Dresden: cat rescues and fires!
In just 24 hours, the emergency services in Dresden handled 244 missions, including 75 Notarztal Army and 193 ambulance. The fire brigade was also heavily demanded and moved to six fire operations and 11 technical assistance without reporting any significant injuries.
A remarkable incident occurred when firefighters were called to a residential building on October 2, 2025, where a smoke detector raised the alarm. A slight smell of fire from an apartment could be attributed to burned food. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the fire brigade and a perfectly functioning smoke detector, an anxious tenant was able to return to her apartment unharmed.
Also on the same day, the fire brigade was called to a curious "person in an emergency" - a vacuum cleaner continued to ran in an apartment, but nobody reacted. The fire brigade opened the door and discovered that the tenant's cat had activated the vacuum cleaner. Finally, a cat was saved from a predicament under a metal container. This use required the container to raise the container before the animal could be freed - intact and full of escape instinct.
