Big fire in Bremerhaven: allotment garden in flames!

On the night of Monday, September 8, 2025, the fire brigade in Bremerhaven was alerted when several emergency calls entered into the Buschkärpen district. At 0:30 a.m., the first fire truck of the professional fire brigade moved out together with the Lehe volunteer fire brigade. When she arrived, it turned out that a gazebo that was about 4 × 5 meters tall was already completely on fire. The fire area extended over around 300 m² and included various scales on the allotment garden area. According to fireworld.at, 12 emergency services were temporarily used under respiratory protection.

The fire brigade was able to control the fire within 15 minutes, but the post -extinguishing work withdrew until around 8 a.m. A total of 20 emergency services and seven emergency vehicles were involved to prevent the fire spread. Information on the amount of damage and the cause of the fire are not yet available, as these are further investigated by the police. The support was also carried out by the Bremerhaven police, which helped in the localization, since there was no precise location, such as nord24.de.

Fire statistics and security

The incidents in Bremerhaven also take a look at the fire statistics in Germany. Although there are numerous statistics on fires, causes of fire as well as fire injuries and deaths, there is no comprehensive and uniform system for recording this data, according to Feuertrutz.de. Experts agree that more precise data could make a significant contribution to improving fire protection in Germany.

The causes of fire vary greatly, with frequent causes of errors in electrical systems, improper handling of fire or inadequate safety precautions. The Bremerhaven fire report underlines how important it is to take preventive measures in allotment gardens and to improve fire protection systems. Especially in urban areas, the dangers of a fire for residents and property are significant.
