Report


In Lautersheim, a fire broke out involving approximately 55 bales of straw during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, prompting the dispatch of the drone unit and the swap-body truck equipped with a roll-off container holding 10,000 liters of water to provide assistance.

The drone unit was tasked with conducting a reconnaissance flight over the fire scene to assess the situation and use the thermal imaging camera to determine whether the fire was spreading. The fire was quickly brought under control, so the swap-body truck was not needed and was able to return to the station.
