Heavy snowfall triggers multiple emergency responses by the Hattinger fire department
In the city of Hattingen, Germany, the fire department has been working tirelessly to clear more than 25 deployment sites following a heavy snowfall overnight. The coordination for the deployment was handled by the deployment centre in Hattingen, not the regional control centre in Schwelm.
The firefighters faced numerous challenges, including removing traffic obstacles such as entire trees, branches, and tree crowns. This is a time-consuming process, but essential for ensuring the safety of the city's residents.
Once the obstacles are removed, the fire department needs to clean vehicles and equipment to restore operational readiness. The structures used in the deployment were pre-planned and previously tested, ensuring an efficient response to the snowfall.
The city experienced no injuries or fatalities in the aftermath of the snowfall, a testament to the fire department's quick action and preparedness. It's worth noting that this is the second deployment situation within a week in Hattingen.
The Hattingen fire department consists of both professional and volunteer personnel, working together to keep the city safe.
