Fire in Gladbeck: dramatic use of the fire brigade!

Busfortshof, 45968 Gladbeck, Deutschland - in Gladbeck, Germany, broke out a fire in Busfortshof on March 16, 2025 at 3:19 p.m. The fire brigade's alarmed forces were quickly on site and did everything possible to fight the fire before it could spread to neighboring buildings. In order to contain the flames that already beat out of a window on the second floor, two squads went into the building under heavy respiratory protection. At the same time, a targeted window pulse was carried out to control the fire site. At that time the building was uninhabited, but the presence of people could not be excluded. Fortunately, this fear turned out to be unfounded. The cause of the fire remains unanswered and is examined by the responsible authorities, as fireworld.at

But that was not the only effort the Gladbeck fire brigade had that day. On December 30, 2023, there were several fire operations and assistance in the urban area. In the morning, an apartment fire in the south of Gladbeck was reported, but the fire brigade was not necessary. In the afternoon, the emergency services had to sprinkle an oil track on Horster Straße, which lasted over 1500 meters. In the evening, around 8:07 p.m., the fire brigade moved out again to a fire in the Butendorf district, but could not extinguish here either, since there was no incident. During the evening, the emergency services were mainly busy with smaller fires, including two large garbage containers in the city center. Thanks to the rapid action of the fire brigade, the flames could be spread to nearby buildings, which is highlighted by the Neue Gladbecker Zeitung . In the last 24 hours, the emergency services in Gladbeck came to a total of 41 missions, which illustrates the high capacity utilization of the emergency services.
