Technology problems in the tobacco district: fire brigade required for false alarms!

Am Tabakquartier 56/58, 28259 Bremen, Deutschland - The tobacco district in Bremen keeps causing excitement due to repeated fire brigade operations. The old tobacco memory II is particularly affected at the address at Tabaktquartier 56/58. Here, like the Weser-Kurier reported in the past few months to numerous false alarms that have been attributed to technical problems.

Local resident Alexander Lüke reports that there have been twelve missions from the fire brigade for more than a year. There were three missions in particular between May 22 and 28, 2023. The Bremen fire brigade is used five to eight times a day due to false alarms, which makes the situation increasingly uncomfortable for the residents. After all, they are often forced to clear their apartments when the alarm sounds.

technical causes and their consequences

The fire brigade spokesman Christian Patzelt confirms that more modern buildings such as that are affected in the tobacco district. In May 2023, the fire brigade came four to five times in the building that houses both the city administration departments and the administrative school. A municipal IT service provider, Dataport, also has to deal with the false alarms. Press spokeswoman Britta Heinrich expresses concerns about the seriousness of such alarms, since repeated false alarms can undermine the vigilance of the emergency services.

The fire brigade takes every alarm seriously and calls for the evacuation of the affected areas when warnings. Press spokesman Fabio Cecere from Immobilien Bremen asks the landlords to remedy the situation as soon as possible. The technical analysis has identified problems in the smoke suction system and in the detectors in the elevator shafts as sources of error. The landlord has already initiated measures to fix these problems. This includes the installation of a fire guard.

false alarm - a widespread problem

These repeated false alarms are not only a problem in the tobacco district. In Germany there are around 500,000 missions annually, which are triggered by false alarm, as the wikipedie . The term "false alarm" or "false alarm" means the erroneous alarm from fire brigade, emergency services or police without actual danger. The most common causes are technical defects or impossible by smoke or steam, such as in gastronomies or through smoking guests.

in a city like Bremen, where the emergency services are regularly required, the reduction of false alarms is serious. In accordance with DIN VDE 0833-2, certain technical measures to avoid false alarms are prescribed for future missions. These include complex reviews of branded sizes and the use of multi-fachsenor fire detectors.

In the past, other cities, such as Viersen, have registered over 90 percent of their break -in reports as false alarms. The cost grade for these missions is not to be neglected: In Hesse, for example, the police raise a fee of 200 euros for false alarm missions.

In summary, it remains to be said: The tobacco district remains a focal point for false alarms, and it remains to be hoped that the technical problems will soon be resolved so that residents and emergency services will no longer be excited. Those responsible are challenged in order not to put the safety and nerves of the people in Bremen further.
