Emergency Situation on B236: Fire in a Vehicle - First Responders from Bremen Avert Further Damage
At 11:06 AM today, a vehicle fire broke out on the B236 towards Lünen. The Dortmund Fire Department, along with firefighters from Bremen who were in the area for an exchange programme, responded swiftly to the incident.
Upon arrival, a tow truck was found on fire, with the blaze starting in the engine compartment. The fire spread rapidly, causing visible smoke. Thanks to the quick response of the Bremen firefighters, the fire was contained early on.
The Dortmund Fire Department dispatched units from Fire Stations 6 (Scharnhorst) and 2 (Eving), as well as the rescue service to the scene. However, initially, no passing trucks stopped to help extinguish the fire.
Despite the challenges, around 20 personnel from both departments worked together for about 90 minutes to control the situation. A proper rescue lane was not always maintained or was repeatedly blocked by vehicles during the incident, causing traffic congestion.
The occupants of the affected vehicle were able to exit safely. The Dortmund Fire Department expresses its gratitude to the firefighters from Bremen for their quick and professional response. They also used the Tank-Water-Foam roll container from Fire Station 2, which carries an additional 5000 liters of water, to help extinguish the fire.
The names of the fire chiefs involved in the operation are not publicly available. The information in this report was provided by the Fire Department Dortmund and transmitted via news aktuell.
