Fire in Munich's high -rise: garbage can fire leads to great commitment!

In the night of March 1, 2025, a dramatic basement fire occurred in a high-rise building in Max-Kolmsperger-Straße, Munich. The fire brigade was alerted because of a burning large waste bin, which, despite the quick intervention, took over two hours. When the fire brigade arrived, dense smoke already penetrated the stairwell through a garbage slot, while the residents of the building got safe. A plonge attack, consisting of two respiratory protection teams, was able to quickly control the fire, while a second fire truck was used to check the affected apartments and the stairwell, such as fireworld.at reported.

The Munich fire brigade then had to carry out extensive smoke extraction measures. Due to the extensiveity of the basement, which extends to the underground car park, the situation was as challenging. Fortunately, no other people were found in the building, but a 75-year-old woman was brought to a clinic with flue gas poisoning. The shock of the situation was noticeable for a total of 21 people who were looked after in a nearby restaurant. While the emergency services were busy with the smoke deductions, there was another fire report on Dreimühlenstrasse. Here, too, the flames had caused damage in a garbage can camp, with the material damage in the middle five-digit range, according to the report of tz.de .

A witness saw the fire in a garbage can camp around 2:45 a.m. and immediately alerted the fire brigade. While the emergency services brought a quick extinguishing team into position, the adjacent restaurant was also checked for smoke because there was a connection through ventilation pipes. The use for the fire brigade ended after about an hour, and the investigation into the cause of the fire and the amount of damage is already underway. The incident not only influenced the nightlife in the district, but also raised questions about the fire safety of garbage can bearings.
