Great fire in Unterkochen: Fire brigade fights with flames in full swing!

In the night of Sunday, January 12, 2025, a major fire broke out in a shell on Aalener Strasse in Unterkochen. The flames were discovered by a police patrol at 2:32 a.m. when the fire had already spread on the first floor of a four -story apartment building. Fortunately, there were no people in the building at this time.

The fire brigade was quickly on site and was able to control the fire at 3:45 a.m. However, there was another flare in the roof structure at 5:37 a.m., which caused the emergency services to continue to work intensively. For these measures, a total of five fire trucks, two turntable ladders and 60 emergency services from fire departments from Aalen, Unterkochen, Ebnat and Wasseralfingen are in use. Due to the extinguishing work, Aalener Straße and Rathausplatz will probably remain closed until the end of the day. The amount of property damage is currently unknown and the investigation into the cause of the fire is still running.

repeated fires in Aalen

A similar incident recently occurred in downtown Aalen, where strong smoke development in a commercial building on Reichsstädter Strasse was observed. At 0:55 a.m., a police patrol discovered the fire that broke out in the roof structure. The fire brigade was deployed with ten vehicles and 44 emergency services and was able to control the fire at around 2:00 a.m. The post -extinguishing work dragged on until the early hours of the morning. A fireman was slightly injured in the missions and the property damage is estimated at up to 500,000 euros. Here, too, the cause of the fire has been unknown, and investigations have been taken.

The location in the city center of Aalen is currently tense, since the Reichstädter Straße is completely closed from the confluence with the confluence with the confluence of the eastern city moat. Pedestrians also cannot pass the blocked road. Memories of a similar major fire in 2017, which almost completely destroyed the cube compared to the town hall, are alive among residents and passers -by.
