Great fire in Feldatal: barn and residential building in flames!

In the night of Thursday, June 26, 2025, a major fire was reported in the Schellnhausen district of the municipality of Feldatal. At 2 a.m., the fire brigade received the alarming news against which it immediately moved. When the emergency services arrived, the barn was already in full fire, and the fire had already spread to an adjacent, empty house. Fortunately, no people or animals were in danger, since the building was uninhabited, as the Fuldaer Zeitung reported.

The fire brigade fought the flames while facing a difficult supply of extinguishing water. This was secured by tank fire vehicles, which had to be alerted to ensure the necessary water supply. Nevertheless, the approximately 150 emergency services from Feldatal and surrounding communities managed to quickly control the fire and to prevent spreading to neighboring buildings. The estimated property damage is between 200,000 and 250,000 euros, as the Oberhessische Zeitung

Investigations into the cause of the fire

The police have started the cause of the fire. The deputy district fire inspector Hubert Helm commented on the difficult situation on site and praised the fire brigade quickly. Despite the challenges, especially in water supply, an even greater disaster was prevented. An ambulance was also on site, although luckily there were no injuries.

The events in Feldatal impressively show how quickly such major fires can occur and how crucial the fire department is. Cutricious preparations and the right equipment are the be -all and end -all. The emergency services are not only active for fires, but are also available in other emergency situations, which underlines the importance of their work.
