In the wake of a power outage in Wiesbaden's state capital, the Fire Department and emergency services have taken swift action to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.

The central control room at Fire Station 1 is serving as a lighthouse for disaster protection, providing a crucial point for the population to report emergencies and receive essential information. The room is reinforced with personnel to handle the increased demand, ensuring smooth operations.

Commanders from the fire department and emergency services have set up a command post at Fire Station 1, where leadership personnel from the police, rescue service, fire brigade, and disaster control gather to coordinate the emergency response effort. The command post, still operational, is established to assess the situation and take additional measures if necessary.

The location of the command post remains at Fire Station 1, with the commanders continuing to occupy the post. Reinforcements are being sent to the central control room to support its operations.

In a related development, an ambulance was dispatched to a patient with a home ventilator, underscoring the importance of the emergency services' swift response in critical situations.

Meanwhile, the fire stations of volunteer fire departments in the affected areas are functioning as additional disaster protection lighthouses, providing support to the central control room at Fire Station 1. The central point for emergency reporting and information remains at these stations.

The Fire Department of the State Capital Wiesbaden has issued a statement, reassuring the public that they are doing everything in their power to restore power and maintain order in the affected areas. The situation is still being assessed by commanders from the fire department and emergency services, with additional measures being taken if necessary.

The community is urged to stay informed, follow instructions from the authorities, and check on their neighbours during this challenging time. The emergency services stand ready to respond to any further incidents and to support the community in its recovery efforts.
