Apartment fire in Duisburg: According to the emergency call, there is still one person in the building. When the fire brigade arrived, the flames were already shooting out of the window.

The missing person has to be rescued from the smoke-filled stairwell using respiratory protection. At the same time, firefighting is initiated from the inside and via turntable ladders. Another team is fighting the flames at the back of the house, which is difficult to access, to prevent them from spreading to the neighboring building.

At a recycling center in the world's largest inland port, hundreds of tons of scrap metal and scrap vehicles are completely engulfed in flames. The cloud of smoke is visible for kilometers.

The Duisburg professional fire department immediately took all necessary measures to keep the massive fire at bay. All neighboring towns are sending reinforcements. The Duisburg Harbor Guard's fireboat also starts extinguishing operations from the water. Can the emergency services defeat the fire with their combined forces?

Traffic accident on a federal highway: A cyclist was hit and seriously injured. The Christoph 9 rescue helicopter is called in to provide support.

Thick, black smoke is coming from the basement of an abandoned hospital. But all entrances to the building are barricaded.
