Emergency at hand with batteries scattered everywhere; fire department in action.
In two separate incidents on Monday, the fire department was called upon to address fires that occurred in Dresden-Leubnitz-Neuostra and Spitzweg Street.
In Dresden-Leubnitz-Neuostra, a house fire originating from a kitchen window of a semi-detached house was quickly resolved. Thick smoke billowed from the kitchen window, and a pungent, black smoke was pouring out of the entrance door of the house. A woman was taken to the hospital due to suspected smoke inhalation, although no further injuries were reported.
The fire department's swift actions successfully resolved the situation, and no other houses were affected. The cause of the fire was initially unknown, but later identified as overheated batteries in a charging device.
In a separate incident on Spitzweg Street, the fire department responded to a call and arrived at the scene to address the fire. A neighbor was evacuated as a precautionary measure, and the fire was quickly extinguished. No other injuries were reported.
The incident in Spitzweg Street was also caused by a charging device, and the fire department's actions successfully resolved the situation. The name of the woman admitted to the hospital after suffering severe smoke inhalation in the fire incident in Dresden-Leubnitz-Neuostra has not been publicly disclosed.
The fire department's quick response and effective actions in both incidents prevented further damage and ensured the safety of the surrounding community. The incidents serve as a reminder to be cautious when using charging devices and to always prioritize safety.
