Brauweiler in Pulheim - Tragic crash: vehicle strikes person on foot.
Around 2 am, emergency services including the fire department in Pulheim and others were rushed to Mathildenstraße due to an accident. Already, first responders had treated injured individuals. A car carrying three people had veered off the road, colliding with a pedestrian on the sidewalk and then two parked cars.
The pedestrian was brought back to life by the rescue team but ultimately passed away from his injuries. Moreover, a woman severely injured in the car was also resuscitated by a doctor. Initially, she was planned to be transported to a hospital by helicopter, but given the flight time, she was taken to a specialised clinic in Cologne via ambulance instead. The driver of the errant car sustained critical injuries and was moved to a different hospital in Cologne. Finally, the passenger in the car dealt with minor injuries and headed to the hospital.
The four individuals injured were tended to by two ambulances from Frechen and Pulheim and medical practitioners from Frechen, Hürth, and Pulheim. A spiritual caretaker was requested for the relief of the first responders. Led by Brandrat Frank Blankenstein, the fire department appeared with 27 emergency personnel and six vehicles. Initially, they bolstered the rescue service, secured and lit the accident scene, ensured fire safety, and performed the regular post-accident responsibilities.
As the car accident had also knocked down a streetlight, the power company was invited to the scene. They set up a pickup area for the rescue helicopter on the sports field on Donatusstraße during the ongoing rescue efforts and brightened up the sports field with their floodlight system. Later, the emergency services illuminated the entire accident site for the traffic accident investigators of the police with the help of the ladder truck. The fire department remained on site until the early hours, even as they took charge of providing sustenance for the emergency personnel on location and kept the city's emergency infrastructure secure.
During this operation, the fire engine Geyen stepped in to supply the emergency responders on site and maintained emergency coverage in the city. This was crucial as around 5 am, an alarm sounded from the Stommeln district with thick, white smoke billowing from a bank on the main street. The fire engine Geyen, Stommeln, and Pulheim with the ladder truck from Bergheim were alerted and promptly dispatched to the scene.
However, upon arrival, under the guidance of Stadtbrandinspektor Christian Heinisch, no fire and no smoke were detected. It was presumed that a smoke grenade had been thrown to deter bank robbery explosions. The fire department, which mobilized with 25 emergency personnel and six vehicles, eventually handed the accident site over to the police and returned to their stations after about 30 minutes.
