Overlying battery triggers major fire on the S5 - chaos traffic!
Fahrenkrug, Deutschland - On May 31, 2025 there was a hall fire on the S5 towards Stockerau, near rock on the Wagram. The alarmed fire brigades Feuersbrunn and Grafenwörth had to cope with traffic chaos due to the restricted construction site. The head of operations Manfred Ploiner coordinated the fire -fighting measures of the Grafenwörth fire brigade, which carried out the extinguishing attack with a respiratory protection squad and the quick attack facility of the armory.
The fire brigade Feuersbrunn took over the site and provided a reserve troop. Thanks to the quick measures, the fire could be brought under control quickly. A check on the other side of the noise barrier was also carried out to control possible spark flight. Before the emergency services were entered, a consultation with the motorway police took place.
cause of the fire
A similar incident occurred on July 17, 2024 in Fahrenkrug, Segeberg district, where a garage fire that attacked a residential building was also attributed to a defective bicycle battery. The fire brigade had to move there with almost 100 forces, and the extinguishing work dragged on for four hours because the battery had to be cooled intensively. The strong smoke development led to the warning about the Warn app Nina, and the electricity and gas supply in the affected house was switched off as a precaution.
safe handling of lithium batteries
In order to minimize the dangers of dealing with lithium-ion batteries, it is advisable to strictly separate the storage and loading of this battery, as a joint storage increases the fire load. Smaller, compact cupboards for storage offer advantages such as faster evacuation in an emergency and a lower risk of larger fire sections. As part of the safety precautions, all users should be made aware that potential fires must be taken seriously.
The events on the S5 and Fahrenkrug illustrate the need for careful handling of lithium-ion batteries and the fast reaction of the fire brigade to avert damage and secure affected areas.
