Grenade discovery in Ense: Fire brigade ensures controlled explosion!
In the Bremen region, an exciting scene could be observed today on the outskirts of Waltringen. A fire-fighting group from the Bremen fire brigade was called to an operation when an amateur detectorist discovered a suspicious object in a field during his exploration. After he informed the authorities, the first emergency services responded and quickly determined that it was a damaged anti-aircraft grenade from the Second World War. Fortunately, the site was outside the residential area, so there was never any danger to the population.
The fire department was there with two vehicles and took over the security of the area in close coordination with the police and the public order office. “We have ensured fire protection at the same time so that nothing really goes wrong,” reports a fire department spokesman. The professionals brought sandbags to the scene to shield flying debris before the explosive ordnance disposal service ordered a controlled demolition.
Controlled demolition successfully completed
The controlled demolition went according to plan and without incident. The entire operation lasted about an hour before the fire department declared its work over. “It is always a relief when such operations can be completed successfully and no one is harmed,” the spokesman added. Such discoveries are not commonplace in every operation, but the attention of detectorists and the explosive ordnance disposal service remains crucial to ensuring security in the region.
Overall, the incident shows how important it is to take potentially dangerous items seriously and to act immediately if anything suspicious arises. The operation was clear evidence of the good cooperation between the fire brigade, police and public order office, who act in fragments of our region's history and protect people from possible dangers.
An encouraging example of the emergency services' willingness to react quickly to such unexpected situations proves once again that quick action must be taken in an emergency. This is important not only for the affected region, but also for all citizens who can rely on the security services.
