Fire in the Munich restaurant: dramatic use of the fire brigade!

in Munich, on Tuesday evening, December 3, 2024, a dangerous fire in a restaurant on Schillerstrasse occurred. The cause of the fire, which is previously unknown, started in the ventilation system of the kitchen, which caught fire during the operation. Since the flames initially remained undetected, it took longer than expected for the fire brigade to intervene. The restaurant operators immediately alerted the fire brigade and evacuated all guests, which could prevent worse mischief, such as fireworld.at reported.

When the fire brigade arrived, the fire had already become a serious problem because black smoke rose from the roof structure of the back yard. In order to effectively combat the fire, a respiratory protection squad was set up and a plug -in conductor was used to get access. The roof cladding was removed with two chainsaws so that a targeted extinguishing action was possible. After about two hours of intensive work, the firefighters were finally able to report "fire", while a follow -up check that night with a thermal imaging camera ensured that there were no more embers.

During the extinguishing work, the entire building had to be separated from the power grid and parts of the ventilation system were dismantled. Fortunately, nobody was injured, but the damage to property has so far been unclear. The incident illustrates the risks that exist when using ventilation systems, as a similar incident shows in Bruchsal in August 2022. There, an employee had noticed smoke in the ventilation system in a fire alarm, which led to immediate deactivation. Here, too, extensive extinguishing measures were necessary, whereby the fire brigade had to extinguish the fire in difficult access areas through the use of thermal imaging cameras and specialized techniques, as
