Stock Photo - 07 June 2023, Berlin: The driver of a fire department emergency vehicle works millimeters to get past a parked car in an apartment fire at Gustav-Müller-Platz in Schöneberg. A fire had broken out in an apartment in the building for reasons that have not yet been explained. According to the fire department, three people were slightly injured. In addition, three people in the neighboring house were brought to safety from the balcony via the turntable ladder. However, the lateral supports on the ladder truck could not be fully extended due to the cars parked on both sides. Thus the turntable ladder was only limited usable. The operation showed how important it is that there is enough space for the large fire engines, especially the turntable ladder, fire department spokesman Thomas Kirstein told the German Press Agency. ""It was enough here, and that was also important here, because people were rescued from the balcony here."" However, he said, it is necessary for the aerial ladder truck to have sufficient footprint in an emergency. Photo: Paul Zinken/dpa. - Berlin/Berlin/Germany
