Willage vehicle in Hanover: Dramatic fire causes high damage!

Klagesmarkt, 30159 Hannover, Deutschland - On January 14, 2025, a violent fire broke out in the downtown of Hanover, more precisely at the Klvesmarkt, a violent fire in a garbage vehicle from the Waste Management Region Hanover. The incident occurred around noon when the crew noticed that smoke rose from the garbage container. In order not to cause any major damage, the driver reacted quickly: he stopped the vehicle and drove it back about 20 meters to create a safety distance to the surrounding residential buildings and parked cars, such as fireworld.at reported.

fire and fire brigade measures

When the garbage container was opened, the fire was suddenly ignited, which spread quickly and opened the vehicle in flames. Fortunately, the three -person crew was not injured. The fire brigade in Hanover was quickly alerted and was able to control the fire with extinguishing foam relatively quickly. It was also taken care that the windows of the adjacent buildings remained closed. However, the post -extinguishing work was lengthy because the vehicle was loaded with four tons of waste paper and could no longer be emptied automatically. The emergency services pulled out the burning material bit by bit with a telescopic loader and deleted it before it was loaded into a trough for disposal. According to ZEIT ONLINE there was no acute danger for residents.

The exact amount of damage has so far been unclear, but considerable damage to property was created both on the garbage vehicle and on the parked cars. The police have already investigated the cause of the fire after no one was harmed. A total of 17 emergency services with seven vehicles were on site to extinguish the fire and master the danger situation, while thick clouds of smoke rose from the vehicle, as reported by the German Press Agency.
