Roofing fire in Bösel: Fire brigade in large -scale use against flames!

On Monday evening, March 3, 2025, a dramatic roof truss fire occurred in Bösel, which triggered a large alarm for the fire brigade. At 6:40 p.m., the emergency services were alerted after flames from the roof of the house slapped when they arrived.

As a precaution, the neighboring residential building was also evacuated, since there was a risk that the flames could exceed, such as

With a operating strength of over 140 firefighters, an effective protection of the neighboring building was built up by a bar position. Several groups penetrated the burning building under heavy breathing protection to combat the flames.

Thanks to the quick and coordinated intervention, the fire to other buildings remained from spreading.

In another fire, which occurred on April 15, 2020 in Lüchow-Dannenberg, the roof structure caught fire at a homeless shelter. When the fire brigade arrived, the building was already in full fire, while four people who were on the inside could quickly get outdoors, among other things by an outside conductor. The use of the fire brigade was also intensive here, with several jet pipes being used for fire fighting and bar positions for the protection of neighboring buildings.

Unfortunately, a resident suffered a serious stab wound during the event and had to be flown to a Hamburg clinic with a rescue helicopter. The material damage to the fire is estimated at around 150,000 euros.
