Gusts sweeping across Berlin
In the afternoon of an unspecified date, the German city of Berlin witnessed a series of tree-related incidents due to strong gusts of wind, as warned by the German Weather Service (DWD) in the morning about storm and gusty winds in Berlin and Brandenburg.
The first incident occurred in Zehlendorf, southwest Berlin, where a dead tree threatened to fall onto the tracks of the U3 line. Thankfully, the Berlin Fire Department was quick to respond and managed to remove the tree before any dramatic events could occur. The U3 line runs parallel to the Argentinian Allee in Zehlendorf.
Interestingly, another tree had already fallen in the same area of Zehlendorf, adding to the workload of the fire department. Despite the multiple incidents, the number of incidents remained manageable, under 20.
In Heiligensee, northwest of the city, the fire department crew used a turntable ladder to remove the crown of a tree whose branches were threatening to fall. The identity of the firefighter spokesman interviewed in these incidents is not explicitly stated, but a known firefighter spokesperson mentioned is Edgar Behrendt, the press spokesman for the volunteer fire brigade in Leer.
The incidents did not result in any injuries, a relief for the city. In Neukölln, the Berlin Fire Department also secured potentially falling flower boxes, ensuring the safety of the city's residents.
It's important to note that these incidents serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather and the vital role that emergency services play in keeping our cities safe. The Berlin Fire Department handled these incidents with professionalism and efficiency, ensuring the safety of the city's residents and maintaining the smooth running of public transport.
