On February 6th, 2022 at 11:02 p.m., the volunteer fire brigade FF Hennef was alerted to the Söven equipment house after a passer-by reported smoke developing in the vehicle hall.
When the first members of the LG fire-fighting group arrived at the fire station shortly after the alarm was raised, the MLF medium-sized fire-fighting vehicle was already fully engulfed in fire, and the fire had already spread to the roof structure. The smoke was so strong that it was no longer possible to enter the hall without fire protection clothing and respiratory protection.
Therefore, the alert level was increased to B4 at 23:05.
Several squads wearing breathing apparatus fought the fire from inside and outside and using the turntable ladder. After the gates could be opened, the still drivable vehicles of the unit were driven out of the hall one after the other. The fire was extinguished after about 90 minutes.
Three firefighters contracted mild smoke inhalation and were treated by emergency services at the scene.
At least the military command, the Hennef, Uckerath fire-fighting trains, the LG Söven, Happerschoss, an ambulance and a radio patrol vehicle were deployed.
The LG Blankenberg was alerted parallel to an incoming fire alarm system in the center and then ensured the basic protection for the city area.
The cause of the fire is unknown and is being determined by the police.
The fire completely destroyed the MLF. The emergency fire engine, the hose wagon and the crew transport vehicle are still drivable, but were badly damaged by the smoke from the fire. An expert must determine whether these vehicles can continue to be used in the future. In addition, the operational clothing was almost completely destroyed.
Fire protection in the operational area of the Söven fire-fighting group is initially ensured by the Hennef and Uckerath fire-fighting trains and the Uthweiler fire-fighting train from Königswinter.
Restoring the operational readiness of the Söven extinguishing group within the Hennef fire brigade is currently the top priority.
