Great fire in Friedland: Fire brigade fights for hours for hours!

On Monday afternoon, shortly after 4 p.m., in a warehouse of the Friedland recycling center "Environment Plasma" broke out a devastating fire that held the fire brigade in suspense for several hours. The 80 firefighters were mobilized to fight the flames and to control the situation. The rapid reaction of the emergency services prevented worse, but an employee was brought to the Neubrandenburg Clinic with suspected flue gas poisoning. Two other employees, a 41-year-old and a 22-year-old, also had health problems; The older one independently went to medical treatment, while recent medical help rejected.

had already occurred on the site of the recycling center, often caused by improper disposal of batteries and batteries. Operating manager Stephan Drews urgently warned the population to keep windows and doors closed in order to protect themselves from smoke development. At the same time, he appealed to the citizens to dispose of batteries and batteries properly instead of disposing of them in household waste. This is a point of criticism that experts like the BVSE share. According to ifat.de, a better technical identification of batteries and battery-operated old devices will be suggested to avoid such incidents in the future.

correct disposal of batteries and batteries

In addition, it is important to know that the symbol of the crossed -out garbage can on batteries and batteries illustrates that they do not belong in the residual waste bin. According to [remondis.de] (https://www.remondis- industrie-service.de/wissen-gefaehrliche-abfaelle/news/batterien-akus-entsorgen-batter-wertoffhof-pollutant mobile-handel/), up to five device batteries per person are wrongly disposed of in residual waste or packaging every year. The experts therefore call for increased clarification measures for proper disposal. Old batteries and altakkus must be handed over in retail or at municipal collection points such as recycling centers or pollutant mobile.

The current fire event in Friedland illustrates the urgency of this Enlightenment. We can only prevent similar incidents in the future by correctly acting in the disposal of dangerous waste. The circular discourse on the development of safe alternatives, such as solid batteries, which have a lower risk of fire, is getting louder among industrial experts. These batteries that use non -flammable ceramics can improve the security situation in the area of ​​battery disposal in the long term.
