Keller fire in Leipzig: Tools are missing security after again!

Keller fire in Leipzig: Tools are missing security after again!

On Friday morning there was a fire in the basement of the Dölziger Weg 4 plate construction in Leipzig, which again manifested the concerns of the tenants in the area. The fire brigade was alerted at 2:45 a.m., but initially no fire could be found. More than an hour later, at 4:09 a.m., the second alarm followed when the basement compartment was actually on fire. The extinguishing work took around 40 minutes. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the damage is considerable: soot -smeared walls, bent metal parts and a melted plastic object testify to the dangerous situation that developed during the night. The metal supply shaft and the lines in the basement were also badly damaged, such as the [lvz] (https://www.lvz.de/lokales/leipzig/kellerbrand-in-leipzig-gruenau-mieter-angst- and--force--txd5rmwye5BHLQEKDSGSC4.html) reported.

After the fire, several residents, including Horst Grummich, expressed their lack of understanding of the inadequate safety precautions in the building. In the past, fires in the basement and staircase area have already occurred several times, which continues to scare the tenant. In view of these events, over 100 tenants require better safety equipment, including the installation of video surveillance systems at the entrances. In a short time they were able to collect 50 signatures to give their demands reprint.

damage and other effects

The fire also has serious effects on the supply of tenants. Nine apartments are currently without water and electricity, since repair work is underway. Affected tenants are forced to use an empty apartment to take a shower and go to the toilet. Neighbors support each other in the power supply. It is expected that the supply can be restored on Tuesday, as well as the [lvz] (https://www.locales/leipzig/kellerbrand-in-leipzig-gruenau-mieter-angst- and-forcheit--Txd5rmwye5BHLQEKDSC4.html) informed.

The police have started investigations to examine the relationship with other fires in the district. Due to the frequency of fire brigade operations in Leipzig, which are often associated with fires in residential buildings, gazebos and even on the A14 motorway, the discussion about fire protection measures is more current than ever. The fire brigade in Leipzig is prepared for such emergencies and regularly moves out of missions, as described on the side of [TAG24] (https://www.tag24.de/leipzig/feuerwehr Einze-leipzig).

The events in Dölziger Weg 4 once again illustrate the need for improved security precautions in residential complexes. The concerns of the tenants to protect their habitats should no longer be ignored.
