Great fire in Horn-Bad Meinberg: apartment building in flames!
On Saturday, March 22, 2025, a serious brand occurred in the Bad Meinberg Meinberg district of Horn-Bad Meinberg in an apartment building with 19 apartments. The emergency services were alerted at 07:37 a.m., and the alarm keyword "Feuer 3 - roof structure fire with human life in danger" indicated the drama of the situation at the beginning. The exact circumstances that led to this fire have so far been unclear, such as Fireworld
The fire broke out on the second floor and quickly spread to the roof structure of the building. A total of around 30 people had brought themselves to safety in front of the building. The Horn-Bad Meinberg volunteer fire brigade immediately mobilized around 105 emergency services in order to master the situation. In view of the spread of the fire, the alarm keyword was increased to "Feuer 4 - building fire with human life in danger". The fire brigade received support from surrounding weirs, including breathing apparatus wearers and tank fire engines, as well as from a drone unit of the Detmold fire brigade and specialist advisors of the THW.
operational measures and challenges
When combating the fire, the situation was extremely demanding. Over 550 square meters of the roof were in full fire, and parts of the roof collapsed during the extinguishing work. The firefighters used aerial ladders to combat the fire from the outside, and were forced to use special network agents. In addition, a crane with a work basket was mobilized to secure hard -to -reach places on the roof.
The re -extinguishing work dragged on until late in the evening, whereby embers were located and deleted. In order not to overlook the remains of the fire, the fire brigade provided a fire station on site overnight, since the building was no longer classified as habitable. The city of Horn-Bad Meinberg took care of the accommodation of 13 people affected.
A fire brigade comrade had to be treated slightly injured during use, but could be released after outpatient treatment. The site was then handed over to the criminal police, which now takes up the investigation into the cause of the fire and any damage amount. So far, no information has been published. According to reports from dzonline can be assumed.
fire protection statistics in Germany

In view of the recent events in Horn-Bad Meinberg, it becomes clear again how important an efficient cooperation between the emergency services is in crisis situations, as well as the need to inform and clarify the population about fire protection measures.
