Fire in Bruchsal tram: fire brigade in action, passengers safe!

On Sunday, March 2, 2025, the Bruchsal fire brigade was called for an explosive effort at 2:55 p.m.: A loud bang and smoke in a tram caused an alarm mood at the "Commercial Education Center" stop. The passengers, all of whom were able to leave the railways, immediately informed the driver, so that the train was brought to a standstill in good time, as reports Fireworld . After the fire brigade arrived, the smell of fire in the back of the railway was clearly noticeable, but the team could not find a fire during the control with a thermal imaging camera. Fortunately, there were no injuries, and fire protection at the site was immediately secured.

The route between Bruchsal and Untergrombach was temporarily blocked by the DB control center on both tracks to guarantee the safety of passengers. The affected part of the train was decoupled and brought back to Bruchsal with a repair train, as reported by the Volunteer fire brigade Bruchsal . The affected travelers were transported further by replacement buses and the exact circumstances of the incident were handed over to the DB emergency manager, which ended the use of the fire brigade under the commander Thomas Frieß at 3:52 p.m.
