Large house fire in Neuss: four row houses uninhabitable!

Holzheim, Neuss, Deutschland - On March 22, 2025, the Neuss fire brigade was called to a apartment fire in Holzheim at 10:42 a.m. During the journey, the emergency services found a strong smoke development, which resulted from several single-family row houses on Suitbertusweg. According to FireWorld were visible when the fire brigade flames arrived from several flames. Fortunately, the residents had already left their houses, so that there were no injuries.

The operations manager immediately ordered the reinforcement with further forces. Around 50 firefighters were involved to fight the flames that spread particularly in the area of the roof skin. Targeted measures prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings. In order to make fire fighting more effectively, parts of the roofs had to be opened and removed, also with the help of a turntable ladder. The use stretched until late afternoon.

consequences of the fire

The affected houses were declared uninhabitable due to the damage. The city took care of the accommodation of the evacuated residents. In addition, the fire guard remains on site to recognize possible embers at an early stage. The police have investigated the cause of the fire.

Another fire occurred on Wednesday evening, March 22, 2025, in a five-story house on Further Strasse in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, which was reported via an emergency call at 8:05 p.m. It was a kitchen fire in the attic, whereby all house residents remained unharmed, such as Feuerwehrmagazin . The Neuss fire brigade moved in with four fire trucks and a total of 63 emergency services and used several respiratory protection teams.

The fire fighting was carried out both inside the building and from the outside with a turntable ladder, which could be used to control the fire at 11:18 p.m. A firefighter suffered a slight electric shock during this mission and had to be taken to the hospital. The house remains uninhabitable for now, since the power supply has been switched off. Here, too, the police initiated investigations into the cause of the fire.

fire statistics and prevention measures

Such incidents illustrate the importance of effective fire protection measures. According to Feuertrutz there is no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany, which makes it difficult to analyze fire causes and injuries. However, precise data could help improve the security standards and optimize preventive measures to prevent future fires.

Overall, the two fire events in Neuss illustrate the challenges in front of which the fire brigades are facing. The quick reaction and the well -coordinated cooperation between the emergency services were crucial to prevent worse and to ensure the safety of the residents.
