Emergency responders at work: blaze and mishap on the highway
On the evening of August 22nd, at 21:37, the Bottrop fire department was called to an incident on the A2 towards Oberhausen. The initial report indicated a preceding traffic accident in the same area.
Upon arrival, it was discovered that the incident involved a fire on a sign bridge. However, to the relief of the emergency services, the fire had already gone out by itself before they arrived.
Despite the fire being extinguished, the emergency services attended to the accident scene before addressing the fire. One person was reported to have been injured as a result of the accident, though the specific parties involved and the extent of their injuries were not detailed in the available report.
Fire Station 1's fire engine was present at the scene, ready to tackle the fire if necessary. Fortunately, their services were not required in this instance.
The incident was resolved by around 22:40, and the volunteer fire brigade in the old town of Bottrop remained on standby for potential further incidents in the city.
This incident serves as a reminder to all road users to drive safely and responsibly, especially during busy periods. The fire department's quick response and the self-extinguishing nature of the fire likely prevented the situation from becoming more severe.
