Podcast appearances and mentions of chris hartmann

Silvester 2018/2019. Chris Hartmann ist seit Kurzem bei der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr in Osterholz-Scharmbeck - einer Kleinstadt nördlich von Bremen. Er lässt mit seinen Kindern gerade Silvesterraketen steigen, als der erste Alarm geht. Dieser Einsatz ist leicht zu händeln, doch die zweite Alarmierung, die kurz darauf folgt, hat es in sich. Erst soll nur ein Schuppen eines Doppelhauses brennen. Doch als eine abgestellte Gasflasche explodiert, dreht sich die Lage. Außerdem ist nicht klar, ob noch Menschen im Gebäude sind. Im Podcast schildert Chris diesen stundenlangen Einsatz, welche Wendungen es gab und wie er mittlerweile sicherstellt, dass seine Familie weiß, wo er gerade löscht. Die neuesten Folgen des NDR Feuerwehr-Podcasts gibt es immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek. https://1.ard.de/meineinsatz10 NDR Reporter Torben Hildebrandt und Feuerwehrfrau Theresa Balzer empfangen Feuerwehr-Aktive, die von ihren prägendsten Erlebnissen erzählen.
