High fire damage – fire protection curtain prevents worse

Fire brigade at Villa Hirzel, where a fire curtain prevented worse damage

The property damage that occurred on Thursday night in a fire in the restaurant of the Villa Hirzel in Schwäbisch Gmünd (Germany) is estimated at 400,000 euros. Apparently, modern fire protection technology prevented even greater damage. Source: Gmünder Tagespost Photo: Hientzsch

Abstract:
„According to the fire brigade commander Uwe Schubert from Gmünd, a great advantage was a fire curtain that went down when the alarm was triggered and thus sealed off the catering area from the foyer. Such a curtain, says Schubert, can withstand the flames for at least 30 minutes. This probably prevented the flames and especially the smoke from spreading to the rest of the ground floor and the upper floors.“
