Straw Press in Weetzenbruch Experiences Flameup

In an unexpected turn of events, the Celle Volunteer Fire Department was alerted to a burning baler in Straße Andertenhausen on Tuesday evening at 21:11. Upon arrival, the agricultural equipment was fully engulfed in flames.

The incident was swiftly reported to the authorities, and the Celle main fire station, along with the police, quickly responded. The fire suppression operations were initiated using multiple C-rods, a common tool for such situations.

Despite the intense flames, there was no risk of the fire spreading, a relief for the emergency services. However, the baler fire, involving agricultural equipment, is still ongoing.

The extinguishing operations are proving to be a challenging task, as the straw inside the press must be laboriously removed during the process. The removal of the straw is a crucial step in the firefighting efforts, ensuring that all potential fuel sources are addressed.

At 21:45, the operations were still ongoing, and emergency services, including the Celle main fire station, continue to be on site. The police are also present at the location of the incident, maintaining order and ensuring safety.

Regrettably, the search results do not provide information about the press officer of the Volunteer Fire Brigade Corps Celle. Nonetheless, the community is encouraged to stay informed through official channels for updates on the situation.

The Celle Volunteer Fire Department, police, and emergency services remain committed to resolving the situation as quickly and safely as possible. We will continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.
