Alarm level 2: Stable fire in Hollersbach - fire brigade saves animals!

On Thursday evening, April 3, 2025, the Hollersbach fire brigade was called for an assignment after the alarm message "Fire Agricultural Object" received. A strong smoke development could already be seen when the emergency services arrived. Operations manager and local fire brigade commander Stefan Lerch found that a fire had broken out in the stable building.

Effective fire fighting and quick reaction

at around 7:50 p.m. "Brand from" could be given. The decisive factors for the successful use were the quick stopping of the emergency call and the rapid intervention of the emergency services, which prevented the fire from spreading to the mulating store. After the fire fight, the stable building was ventilated and post -controls took place. The use of the Hollersbach fire brigade, consisting of 38 men and three vehicles, as well as the Mittersill fire brigade with 28 men and five vehicles, ended at 9:10 p.m. The Red Cross Mittersill and the Mittersill police were also on site.

The incidents of stable fires are not only dangerous for humans, but also for the animals. Prof. Eva Zeiler from the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences emphasizes that massive seizures of injured animals are a special challenge. The triage takes place according to a certain scheme, similar to humans. Euthanasia or the animals of the animals are part of the process in such situations.

challenges and prevention measures

Personal protection is a top priority, also for the veterinarians. Hubert Bittlmayer, head of the Bavarian Ministry of Agriculture, warns that stable fires leave lasting impressions. Therefore, he advocates measures to avoid such incidents and to support affected families. The BBV president of the essence Siegfried Jäger emphasizes the importance of cooperation between farmers and the fire brigades. Regular exercises on agricultural companies are crucial in order to be able to react quickly and effectively in an emergency.

whether and how insurance cover the treatment costs for animals is another facet that needs to be taken into account. In addition, there are often consequential damage, such as respiratory damage, which can be triggered by the causes of fire or even by photovoltaic systems.

The events in Hollersbach once again illustrate the need for well -organized crisis management in agriculture to protect both animals and humans.
