Fire incident in a residential property requiring several rescue operations
In the heart of Hattingen, an unexpected incident unfolded on Tuesday afternoon. At 17:32, the Hattingen Fire Department received a call from residents in Blankenstein about a heavily smoked apartment with a possible person inside.
Upon arrival, it was determined to be a false alarm. However, the search revealed burnt food on the stove, a telltale sign of a kitchen mishap. The source of this information is the Hattingen Fire Department, as reported by news aktuell.
Alongside the full-time fire engine, the north fire engine was dispatched to the scene. A team of firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the building through the stairwell, while another team gained access to the apartment. Thankfully, after a thorough check, it was found that no one was inside.
Interestingly, it was later discovered that a neighbour had previously removed the burnt food from the stove, possibly averting the need for the fire department's intervention.

However, the specific leader of the Rettungsdienstzentrale (rescue service center) of the Hattingen Fire Department involved in the Blankenstein alarm was not identified in the search results.
