In the late evening hours of May 30, 2023, a fire broke out in a single-family home on Tulpenstrasse, corner of Fliederstrasse, in the Styrum district. When the first emergency services arrived, an injured person was found in front of the family home, from which thick smoke was coming. The injured person was immediately given medical care by the emergency services on site and then taken to a local hospital. Meanwhile, the other forces initiated the extinguishing measures. For this purpose, two teams wearing respiratory protection with nozzles went inside the family home to fight the fire. The outside of the building was also checked using a turntable ladder. The cause of the fire is still unclear. The fire investigators of the criminal police will investigate the course of events. Two platoons of the professional fire brigade, several management services, forces from the rescue service and the two fire brigades of the volunteer fire brigade from Broich and Heissen were involved in the operation. Blumenstraße and Fliederstraße were completely closed for the time of the extinguishing and clean-up work. (THe)

On Saturday evening, the Mülheim an der Ruhr professional fire brigade was alerted to a room fire in the Eppinghofen district. Immediately, a fire engine from fire and rescue station 1 and a fire engine from fire and rescue station 2 moved out. When the emergency services arrived, all the residents of the building had already fled the building on their own. Smoke was already coming out of the open windows on the second floor. A squad of the professional fire brigade, wearing respiratory protection, immediately went to the object to fight the fire, and a short time later another squad supported the work. The fire was under control within minutes. A smoke curtain and high-performance fan were used to prevent further spread of smoke and the smoke was later extracted from the property. The five occupants of the apartment were treated by the emergency services. Transport to a hospital was not necessary.

After the final extinguishing work and checks, the site was handed over to the police after about 50 minutes. (ME)
