Great fire in Trappenkamp: Workshop burns and tire warehouse at risk!

On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, a devastating fire occurred in a car workshop in Industriestrasse in Trappenkamp. According to Fireworld , the fire was reported at 2:16 p.m. The first reports spoke of black smoke development and a strong smell of fire. Almost immediately afterwards further emergency calls were received, which reported at least two meters high flames from the roof area of ​​the workshop.

Due to the intensity of the fire, the operational keyword was increased to "Feu G", which required a greater use of the fire brigade. Additional emergency services were quickly alerted to the site. During the exploration, the fire brigade found that the flames hit the workshop and the roof area and the fire already attacked an adjacent tire warehouse.

operational measures and operations

With the quick reaction of the workshop employees, who immediately used fire extinguisher, a further spread of the fire could be contained. At 2:21 p.m., the fire brigade increased the operational keyword to "Feu 2", which meant two fire trucks. Three hand-led C-jet pipes and a foam tube were used for the inner and outdoor attack. At 2:53 p.m. there was the first message that the fire was under control.

The reversal work, which lasted until 3:27 p.m., were carried out by a total of around 55 fire engines. Three people were medical care on site, but no hospital stay was required. In the course of the mission, the population was asked to keep windows and doors closed via the Warn app Nina and the Katwarn system and to set up ventilation. The warning message was withdrawn at 3:52 p.m.

consequences and investigation

The police have started the cause of the fire, but so far no specific information has been given. The fire brigade also did not publish information about the amount of damage and possibly injured persons. In similar fire cases, extensive statistical surveys are often necessary to understand the causes and increase security. According to Feuertrutz there is no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany, which could, however, help to improve fire protection.

The statistics on fires, causes of fire and the resulting injuries are regularly updated. The information comes from the German Fire Brigade Association and the Federal Statistical Office and cover a variety of aspects in relation to fire protection and security.
