Tourist mistakenly believes chimney is ablaze, summons firefighters to address perceived emergency

On a Wednesday afternoon, a tourist in Norddeich, Germany, noticed smoke rising from behind a hedge and an overhang, prompting them to call emergency services. Instead of a garage fire, the firefighters who arrived on the scene discovered a peculiar find: numerous smoked eels.

The smoked eels were being prepared for consumption, but they were not ready to eat, and it was clear that they would not have been enough for all the crew members. The fish enthusiast who was found at the location where the smoked eels were discovered was not identified as the source of the smoke or the smoked eels.

The emergency call center in Bremerhaven was notified after the tourist on the sailboat "Sturmvogel" sent a Panpan distress call. However, no specific name of the fishmonger or the tourist was provided in the search results.

The fire department reported the incident, but no information was given about any damage or injuries resulting from this strange occurrence. The crew did not consume the smoked eels at the scene and left without having to intervene.

Despite the lack of details about the fish enthusiast or their relationship to the smoked eels, it's clear that the incident stimulated the crew's appetite. The smoked eels, though not immediately ready for consumption, were a curious find for the firefighters in Norddeich.

As the investigation continues, the community waits to learn more about this unusual incident and the identity of the fish enthusiast responsible for the smoked eels. For now, the mystery remains unsolved, leaving locals and visitors alike to wonder about the events that transpired behind the hedge and overhang on that fateful Wednesday afternoon.
