FW Bocholt: Car fully ablaze

Bocholt (ots) -

The Bocholt Fire Brigade was called out today at 09:37 to a vehicle fire on Werther Straße, at the junction with Pannemannstraße.

A distinct column of smoke was already visible whilst the crew were en route. By the time the emergency services arrived, the car in question was already fully ablaze.

The fire brigade immediately began firefighting operations. In addition, adjacent areas that were at risk from the intense heat radiation were cooled down.

The fire-fighting measures taken proved effective very quickly, enabling the fire to be brought under control and extinguished without delay.
No one was injured.

By around 11.15 am, the fire service's operations had been completed and the emergency services were able to return to base.
