House fire in Weimar: Flame trap before Christmas!

On the night of December 21, 2024, a devastating house fire broke out in Weimar, in which a single -family house and an adjacent shed were completely flames. According to the first reports, which were published by Thuringia , received an alarm on the Bahnhofstrasse shortly after midnight. The location escalated quickly when the flames attacked the house from a shed.

Despite the massive use of several voluntary fire brigades from the area and the professional fire brigade, it was not possible to extinguish the fire. The firefighters fought under difficult conditions, including highly dangerous temperatures, since a gas tank nearby had to be cooled hard to avoid an explosion. Unfortunately, they could not prevent the full burning of the house and the collapse of the roof. Two residents, a 63-year-old and a 59-year-old, suffered minor injuries, such as Day24 confirmed.

The property damage is estimated at several hundred thousand euros, and the police have started the cause of the fire. At the time of reporting, the exact reasons for the outbreak of the fire remained unclear, since the examination of the fire location will only be possible after a thorough risk assessment. The extinguishing work also went into the early morning, while the emergency services still fought embers and ensured the safety of the surrounding buildings.
