Great fire in Betzdorf: Garage discovered too late, neighboring house affected!

On January 10, 2025, a garage fire was reported in Betzdorf, in Scheuerfelder Strasse. The homeowner had noticed the smoke development shortly after 10:00 and immediately alerted the fire brigade. Unfortunately, the flames spread to the neighboring residential building before the emergency services arrived. This led to an extensive use of 90 firefighters who were mobilized to quickly contain the fire.

The interior of the garage showed strong fire loads, and the adjacent residential building is temporarily uninhabitable due to the damage. The total damage is estimated in the low -threshold six -digit range. At the time of the fire, a second person who lives in the house was not at home. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
