Surveillance drone observes flames dancing in a fireplace
=====================================================================
In an unexpected turn of events, an industrial fire broke out at an facility on Hansastraße, Neuss, Germany, on July 2, 2022, at 00:39. The fire was initially reported by an employee who noticed smoke emanating from a hall.
The fire department promptly responded to the incident, deploying a drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera to monitor the hall and facade from above. Due to the nature of the business, numerous emergency services were dispatched to the scene.
The fire was burning in a separate part of a hall, presumed to be a workshop. Unfortunately, the fire had spread to the insulating material in the outer facade of the hall. However, the fire department's quick response and the use of heavy breathing protection during extinguishing measures allowed them to contain the fire effectively.
The fire had only spread a little in the insulation, and the fire department was able to quickly extinguish the glowing embers. The operation ended at 03:00, and the hall was then handed back to the operator. Several turntable ladders and tanker trucks were provided due to the uncertain situation.
