Fire in Munich workshop: Sprinkler system prevents catastrophe!

On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, there was a fire in a car workshop in Drygalski Allee in Munich that caused considerable damage to property. The fire brigade received numerous calls that pointed out the fire and fire alarm system of the workshop. Because of these reports, the emergency services immediately assumed a confirmed fire event and quickly set off. In the workshop area, a vehicle had risen in flames, which consequently activated the sprinkler system. According to FireWorld.at

The fire brigade was able to deglaze the burning vehicle quickly. Nevertheless, enormous smoke spread in the hall, which required several people for outpatient examination. Fortunately, due to the incident, no people had to be transported to the hospital. The sprinkler system played a crucial role in preventing a further fire spread on the entire building. The police also examine which cause of the fire has led to this incident.

A negative side effect of the extinguishing process was that leaked extinguishing water flooded large parts of the basement rooms. The emergency services also had a lot to do here to free the affected premises from the water again. According to News.de , the entire property damage remains indefinite until the police have completed its investigation.

The efficiency of sprinkler systems during such operations is not only evident in Munich, but is also documented by national statistics. In 2022, 65 percent of all reported extinguishing successes were achieved by sprinkler systems, mostly with only one or two sprinklers. These systems have proven themselves particularly in objects with a high risk of fire, which also include workshops and can minimize significant damage. According to secupedia.de , 97 percent of these extinguishers automatically trigger, which gives you valuable time for residents and the fire brigade.
