Snow catastrophe: chaos on the streets and numerous accidents!

The first incident occurred in the Greens district when a police car ended up in the ditch. Residents helped the emergency services and the fire brigade was not needed. This marked the beginning of a long day full of challenges. In Priereier Straße, residents alerted the emergency services because several fallen trees blocked the road. These trees, both large and small, were removed with an engine chain saw, the use ended around 1:15 p.m.

further missions in the snow chaos

at 1:50 p.m. there was a renewed alarm by the fire brigade on Priereier Straße, where another large tree blocked the road. This tree was also quickly crushed and cleared aside. During the evacuation, the emergency services discovered further fallen trees, so that the road remained closed until further notice. The fire brigade actively works together with the Hagen fire brigade to eliminate the danger spots. These operations ended around 4:30 p.m.

Another challenge was waiting for the Dellen extinguishing group, which was alerted to secure a fallen small scattering device. Supported by a vehicle with winds from the Breckerfeld fire truck, the device could be quickly erected and pulled off the street.

The concerned patience of the waiting drivers was highly emphasized; Some even provided help in the form of meals. In the afternoon, the tool sheds and the fire and rescue station were occupied with staff in order to be prepared for further missions. This line -up was finally dissolved after the snow frame subsided.
