Roofing fire in Nideggen: Fire brigade in large -scale use against the flames

Nideggen, Deutschland - On Wednesday afternoon, January 15, 2025, a devastating roof truss fire broke out in Nideggen evenings, which presented the fire brigade with great challenges. Callers informed the control center of the Düren district about the fire, whereupon all units of the city of Nideggen were immediately alerted together with the fire brigades from Kreuzau and Hürtgenwald. Difficulties in access and extinguishing water supply made the extinguishing work that were in full swing when the first emergency services arrived. The building was already burning down completely, although the residents could be evacuated in good time. Nevertheless, two residents and a neighbor were taken to the hospital for examination, but without serious injuries. The committed intervention of the Nideggen fire brigade could not prevent a complete loss of the building, which burned down to the foundations. The criminal police will determine the cause of the fire, and it is reported that roofing work has been carried out beforehand, such as fireworld.at reported.

A few months earlier, on May 11, 2024, another fire raged in Nideggen-Rath. A fire in a residential building led to a room in full. Here, too, the residents were able to leave the building in time, but two residents suffered slight flue gas poisoning and a child injured their feet. This time the fire brigade was able to prevent the flames from spreading to other rooms, but the fire spread to the roof area. Several extinguishing tubes under breathing protection were used and the criminal police will also examine the cause of the fire, while the fire location remained closed by the police. This time, too, the fire brigade of the Kreuzau municipality ensured the basic protection for Nideggen because all extinguishing groups were in use. The entire operation ended around 6:30 a.m., reports presseportal.de .
