Fire in the Hochhaus Lößnig: Fire brigade saves, but big damage to property!

Lößnig, Deutschland - On Friday morning there was a water and fire brigade operation in the Leipzig district of Lößnig. The alarm was triggered due to heavy smoke development in the roof structure of an eleven -storey apartment building, which led to an extensive use of the fire fighters. These immediately followed hoses on hydrants, prepared breathing apparatus and sent a fireman with a rescue manager to the fire site, while residents observed the action from their windows. First assumptions that construction work on the roof could be responsible for smoke development were quickly corrected by the police. This confirmed that a fire was behind the incident that had broken out around 10 a.m.

The fire brigade was able to isolate the fire locally and thus prevent spreading to the inhabited areas. Although there was no injuries, the extinguishing work resulted in considerable damage in the upper apartments, which resulted from the penetrating extinguishing water. The exact scope of property damage has not yet been quantified. The idea of ​​negligent arson is not excluded, especially since construction work took place on the roof at the time of the fire and a fire -caused investigator should be used. This was reported by [tag24.de] (https://www.tag24.de/leipzig/feuerwehr Einze-leipzig/alarm-in-loessnig-bau-waben-loesen-gross-aus-396459).

further incidents

around 12.15 p.m., the fire brigade also had to move out for another incident in a primary school in Mockau. Here it turned out that a student had emptied a powder fire extinguisher without any recognizable occasion. The police reacted immediately and filed a complaint against the person responsible because of the misuse of emergency aid, which continued the situation.

The great commitment illustrates the importance of a quick reaction in fire, as is the coordination between the fire brigade, the police and emergency services enormously important. According to lvz.de all involved were quickly on site and were able to control the situation.

Overall, it can be seen that the security situation in Leipzig is closely linked to the construction work and that further investigations to clarify the cause of the fire will follow. Observers and residents were relieved by the rapid action of the emergency services, even if the material damage due to the extinguishing work is not insignificant.
