Troisdorf-Sieglar: Families after Großbrand Homeless-causes unclear

In Troisdorf-Sieglar, a devastating fire causes great excitement. On Wednesday afternoon, attentive witnesses noticed the fire and immediately alerted the fire brigade. Fortunately, all residents, a total of three families with eleven people, were brought to safety in good time. The apartment building on the street in the Kirchtal suffered considerable damage; The roof structure is almost completely destroyed, and the fire investigators have now taken over the cause research in order to learn more about the background of the fire. Initial information suggests that it is not a deliberate act.

A structural engineering has checked the structural security of the house. While the bricks on the lower floors have remained largely undamaged, the flames and the extinguishing water were nevertheless caused by considerable damage. In particular, the clay construction ceiling could be at risk due to the extinguishing water and may have to be renewed. The building is currently under observation because it is considered to be in danger of collapse, even if the structural engineer has given the all -clear according to initial knowledge.

help for those affected

The city immediately took measures to offer the homeless families a transitional accommodation. Support also comes from citizens who spontaneously want to create a donation campaign in order to help families with children in particular. Manu Gardeweg from the "Lohmar helps" association has become active and offers their help to the families concerned to ensure that they receive the necessary support.

The cleanup at the fire site is in full swing. Remains of fallen roof tiles and soot can be seen everywhere. Pedestrians have to walk around the construction fence that has been set up to ensure security against any further dangers. Inside the building, the fire brigade left traces of the fire and the investigation into the exact cause of the fire continues. Again and again there is new revealing about the situation, but the exact cause of the fire is still unclear.

The latest developments in the region are also other fire cases in the area that ensure additional conversation. Another affected building is in Troisdorf-Bergheim, where a fire broke out in August. The owner of the house did not manage to renovate or tear down the building due to financial difficulties. In the Sankt Augustin-Menden district, a listed building burned on October 6th, whereby there is also a suspicion of intentional arson.

The investigation in all of these cases is of great importance, both for the clarification of the causes of fire and for the safety of the residents. The city administration remains in close contact with the fire brokers in order to take all the necessary measures. In Troisdorf and the surrounding area, the situation remains tense, while the families concerned rely on support in order to cope with this crisis.
