Fire drama in Lüdenscheid: CVJM recreation center in flames

Support from Halver

The Halver fire department was called in at 3:49 a.m. with the local fire brigade and was subsequently on site to provide support. The Halver fire department alone is in Olpendahl with a total of 24 firefighters and five vehicles. In addition to other equipment, the Halver fire department is providing a rescue platform, among other things.

How the devastating fire came about is still completely unclear, as a police spokesman told the editorial team when asked. “We know so far that both the building and trailers that were parked in front of the building were subsequently burned.” “The investigations could still go in all directions,” said the police spokesman.

Fire investigators will begin work during the day

The criminal investigation department was on site with its first forces during the night to inspect the building. As soon as the fire department's operation is complete and the green light is given to enter the fire scene, the specially trained fire investigators will also begin their work.

After the fire brigade had temporarily cordoned off the street Im Olpendahl during the night, the police have been back on site since around 7:30 a.m. “We were called in by the fire brigade because some road users did not respect the cordons.” “That's why we are now directing traffic on site,” said the police spokesman. It is currently unclear how long the street Im Olpendahl will remain closed.

No full-day care

The city of Lünscheid has already announced via its social networks that there will be no open all-day care at Audrey's today. Further information will follow directly from the OGS during the course of the day.
