The flames are already shooting out of four windows when a three-person team from the Duisburg fire department fights their way into an apartment where people are still believed to be inside. All four rooms are fully engulfed in flames. The extreme heat makes it difficult for the attack team to proceed and raises questions. The mission for Christoph 9 – this time, a challenging transfer: A critically ill patient must urgently be transported to a specialized clinic; her critical condition makes the flight a test of endurance for the air rescue team.
Before dawn, a report comes in: smoke is coming from a residential area. Firefighters follow the acrid smell of burning. The trail leads to a derelict site.
The initial report sounds unremarkable: A garden shed is on fire, and people are suspected to be inside. But suddenly, the situation becomes dramatic – the caller can't provide a specific address.
A call for Christoph 9: The report is "gunshot wound to the face." The crew takes off under immense pressure.
A plume of black smoke rises above an abandoned sports club grounds as the fire engine from Station 3 arrives.
