Weekday Operations Twice in Schermbeck

In the early hours of Wednesday, the Gahlen fire station received a call at 3:08 AM under the call sign "Storm Damage" for Waldaustraße. The incident was related to a fallen tree blocking the road. The fire department Schermbeck was alerted to the situation and dispatched resources to the scene.

Upon arrival, it was determined that a chainsaw would be necessary to remove the obstacle. The fire department Schermbeck used a chainsaw to cut up the fallen tree, and it was then removed from the road. However, the Schermbeck turntable ladder could not be used due to a technical malfunction. As a result, a turntable ladder from the fire department Dorsten was requested to assist.

The incident at Waldaustraße was concluded at around 3:37 AM on Wednesday. The fire department Dorsten provided assistance in the incident at Lippeweg, which was reported at 12:53 PM under the same call sign "Storm Damage". In this case, a branch was threatening to fall onto the road, but no chainsaw was required to resolve the issue. The incident at Lippeweg was concluded at 2:05 PM.

The fire department Schermbeck was alerted to two incidents on Wednesday, both related to storm damage. The search results do not provide a specific name or contact information for the leader or spokesperson of the Schermbeck fire department regarding technical details about the fire department's aerial ladder defect.

Despite the technical malfunction, the fire department Schermbeck was able to respond effectively to the incidents, ensuring the safety of the public and clearing the roads in a timely manner. The Gahlen fire station did not respond to the incident at Lippeweg, as it was not within their jurisdiction.
