Forecasted weather conditions in Bergheim on Wednesday will impact 15 operations across the lower and upper outer regions.
In the aftermath of a storm that swept through the area, the neighborhoods of Niederaußem and Oberaußem in Bergheim have been particularly affected. Large branches were found lying on the roads, causing disruptions and temporary closures, such as in Brieystraße, Niederaußem, where several trees fell onto the road and a street lamp was knocked over.
The Fire Department in Bergheim has been active since this afternoon, responding to a series of weather-related incidents. As of 2:30 PM, 15 incidents have been recorded, with the number rising to 17 by 5:00 PM. The Glessen and Quadrath-Ichendorf units, the turntable ladder crew from the full-time station, and two ambulances were requested by the Kerpen fire department's incident commander to assist with the clean-up and rescue operations.
No injuries have been reported at the mentioned incident sites. However, loose roof tiles were reported at a house on the Alte Landstraße in Niederaußem. The fire department secured the area and removed the loose tiles using a turntable ladder.
Approximately 40 personnel from the units Büsdorf, Oberaußem, Niederaußem, and the full-time station are involved in the operations. Earlier this morning, Bergheim personnel were deployed to support the Kerpen fire department at an extensive building fire.
The on-duty municipal coordination center at the fire and rescue station in Bergheim is coordinating and directing the incidents. The fire department has also removed the branches in the area of Zum Fortunabad.
