AN UNUSUAL FIRE OF AN ADVERTISING POLE

As we arrived to the site of the fire we established that we were dealing with a fire of an advertising pole. However, after a thorough examination we found that the source of the fire was in a well of some sort – a tunnel 5 meters deep and a few meters wide (within the “tunnel”).

Within the advertising pole is a “well” about 5 meters deep and a “tunnel” leading to a nearby building.

Professional firemen equipped with self contained breathing apparatus and gas masks descended into the extremely narrow “well”. The fire was extinguished using the foam from the high pressure hose reel on the attack vehicle. There was no major damage, and the fire was prevented from expanding through the tunnel to the nearby building. The unusual “well-tunnel” is most probably used for ventilating the building.
