Large -scale deployment of the fire brigade: fire in Leipzig's apartment building deleted!

On Friday afternoon, a fire broke out in an apartment building on University Road in Leipzig, which was reported around 3:33 p.m. The fire brigade was able to quickly control and extinguish the fire. Fortunately, the residents were not at home at the time of the fire, so there were no injuries. However, the affected apartment is no longer habitable. The cause of the fire remains unclear why the criminal police were switched on to clarify the circumstances of the incident. During the mission, the university road was briefly closed to traffic in order to grant the fire brigade unhindered access. The entire use continued to ensure that no embers remained and therefore no reinforcement of the fire took place. According to [lvz.de] (https://www.lvz.de/lokales/leipzig-feuerwehr-loescht-brand-in- Mehrfamilienhaus-in-nstadt-lemqutb6y5eszcpzcpzQtn6u.html), the exact background is not yet fully clarified.

Regardless of this incident, there were other fire reports in the Leipzig region, some of which were favored by the currently high temperatures and dry air. On Monday, for example, a fire broke out in the North Saxony district, which affected an area of ​​about 4 hectares of forest and 1 hectare field. According to mdr.de, around 80 emergency services were active in the fight against the fire. There were clear smoke developments, which also led to visual impairments on the streets. Delitzscher Straße was closed between Sietzsch and Lissa because of the forest fires. The national park administration appealed to the population to exercise caution and mindfulness due to the high temperatures and drought in the forest.

fire risk in the region

The recent forest fires show that the fire risk in the Leipzig region and the surrounding areas has increased considerably. The national park administration points out that the risk from open fire and improper disposal of cigarette stumbling is particularly high. These incidents require a quick and coordinated reaction from the fire brigade and more watchful citizens to prevent major damage.
