Electrical disruption impacts certain regions of Wiesbaden
In the wake of the ongoing emergency, fire stations across the affected areas have been repurposed as emergency shelters and information centers. These central points serve as a hub where residents can report emergencies and receive vital information.
The Fire Department of the State Capital Wiesbaden has issued a statement, but has not yet specified the nature of the emergency. Commanders from the fire and rescue services have occupied a command post at Fire Station 1, although the location of this station remains undisclosed.
It's unclear if other emergency services are also utilising the fire stations as shelters. However, it is known that volunteer fire departments in the affected areas are also participating in this initiative.
The Central Control Center has been reinforced with personnel to manage the influx of calls and coordinate the response efforts. Local police and utility companies have also increased their presence in emergency centers following power outages in specific areas.
In one case, an ambulance was dispatched to a patient with a home ventilator, highlighting the multi-faceted role these emergency shelters are playing in the community.
Regrettably, no information is available regarding the number of people seeking shelter or assistance at the fire stations. As the situation continues to evolve, updates will be shared as they become available.
