Burning sweeper in Munich: emergency services on a large scale!
On November 6, 2025, there was a fire on Drygalski-Allee in Munich that significantly damaged two vehicles. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. The driver of a sweeper first noticed smoke and parked the vehicle on the side of the road. This set off a chain reaction as the fire spread to both the sweeper and a car parked next to it. A thick column of smoke led the emergency services to the source of the fire, which was in the south of Munich.
Around 15 emergency services were on site during the extinguishing work. They worked in two teams under respiratory protection and used a rapid response fire engine and foam to fight the fire. The operation lasted about an hour, during which Drygalski Allee out of town was completely closed. Information about the cause of the fire and the extent of damage is not yet available.
Cause and effects of the fire
The causes of the fire that caused this significant damage are currently unclear. However, emergency services were quickly mobilized, Anglo-Saxon and coordinated, to extinguish the fire. The use of extinguishing agents was crucial to prevent the fire from spreading further.
In cities like Munich, which have a lot of vehicles in use, the risk of fires is an ever-present problem. This makes it all the more important that the city has well-trained emergency services and the ability to react quickly. Recent events show how dangerous situations can develop unexpectedly.
