Hannover Fire Department Successfully Contains Roof Fire in Mühlenberg District

On Friday afternoon, the Hannover Fire Department responded to a fire in the roof area of a nine-story residential building located on Canarisweg. The incident commander escalated the alarm level due to a large, black smoke column visible upon arrival.

Upon arrival, several hotspots were found on the roof, requiring extensive follow-up work. To support the incident commander, thermal imaging cameras and a drone were used to search for potential hotspots.

Two turntable ladders, two hose lines, and multiple breathing apparatus teams were deployed to fight the fire. Despite initial fears, the incident did not result in injuries for either residents or emergency services personnel. Approximately 75 emergency services personnel from the fire department and emergency services were involved, using 30 vehicles.

The quick action by the Hannover Fire Department prevented the fire from spreading. After completing the measures, the scene was handed over to the police for the investigation of the cause of the fire. The tenants were able to return to their unaffected apartments after the follow-up work was completed.

It is important to note that command staff were requested to manage a potential mass casualty incident, although none occurred. The Hannover Fire Department was assisted by a volunteer fire department and emergency services during the incident.
