Fire alarm at primary school: Student safely back in the classroom!

On Monday, February 3, 2025, there was a fire alarm at the elementary school Altenvoerde in Ennepetal around 12:00 p.m. The alarmed emergency services of the Ennepetal fire brigade, both from the main guard and the Milspe-Altenvoerde fire truck, reacted immediately. On site it turned out that the fire alarm system had been triggered by cooking dampers, which led to an unpleasant but harmless incident in the school kitchen. After a thorough review of the technical system, the fire alarm system could finally be set up. Fortunately, there was no danger for the pupils and teachers at all times who were allowed to return to the school building after the check.

The Fast Reasting of the Fire Brigade illustrates the need and efficiency of alarm systems in schools. As Secure-schule.de , such systems are essential in educational institutions. The alarm systems should be designed in accordance with the two-sensory principle, which means that they have to offer visual and acoustic warning signals in order to immediately alert all those present in the event of a risk. This is particularly important in larger meeting rooms.

Security in schools comes first

Various types of alarm systems are used in schools, including language alarm systems and acoustic signal providers such as sirens. These systems are designed not only to warn in an emergency, but also to give instructions on evacuation. The fire alarm system in the elementary school Altenvoerde fulfilled its purpose by making alarm at an early stage, which is an important security measure. By rapidly acting the fire brigade, the situation was quickly brought under control.

The message about the incident was sent by the Ennepetal fire brigade at 9:13 p.m. The incident in turn shows how important it is that schools have suitable alarm systems to ensure the safety of pupils. The installation and maintenance of these systems ensures that in an emergency, it can quickly react to recognize and insulate possible dangers at an early stage.
