On Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, at 1:41 PM, the Volunteer Fire Department of Bedburg-Hau was called to action following a hazardous materials incident on a parking lot at Triftstraße in Hau.
Led by Deputy Fire Chief Tobias Aschemann, a team of 11 firefighters swiftly responded to the scene. Upon arrival, they secured the area and conducted an initial reconnaissance with a team in self-contained breathing apparatus.
The incident involved unknown hazardous substances that had been dumped on the parking lot. The containers holding these substances were found to contain ammonia solution, chemicals for water treatment, oils, and cleaning agents.
