Scheunenbrand in Bauschheim: Fire brigade in large -scale operation at night!

In the night from Thursday to Friday, June 13, 2025, a devastating barn fire occurred in Rüsselsheim, more precisely in the Bauschheim district. The first emergency call received at 1:20 a.m., and the large contingent of fire brigade and emergency services, which was then alerted, quickly moved to Brunnenstrasse. When it arrived, the barn was already in full fire, such as Byc-news.de reports .

The fire brigade had no chance of saving the building: the barn burned down completely and also caused damage to adjacent houses from solid construction. "It went well that we got away without injuries," said the police. Nevertheless, eleven residents had to be evacuated as a precaution in order to protect them from strong smoke development. These found shelter in the Bauschheim community center, which was converted into an emergency accommodation.

A total of up to 120 emergency services and 34 vehicles were involved in the extinguishing and post-extinguishing work. Firefighters from various neighboring places, including the volunteer fire departments of Trebur, Nauheim, Bischofsheim and Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, as well as the fire protection supervisory service of the district of Groß-Gerau were on duty. The emergency services were also on site with three ambulances to be able to help in an emergency, and the Rüsselsheim police provided support with two strips. The specialist advisor of the THW and representative of the energy supplier were also reported at the site, such as .

The causes of the devastating fire are currently still unclear. The police have started the investigation to clarify the exact circumstances and the amount of property damage. In the meantime, the population is asked to be vigilant, especially in the event of such incidents and to act quickly if there are signs of smoke development. The case also throws a light on the general fire risk in urban areas, a topic that is repeatedly taken up as part of the annual reporting of the Center for Fire Statistics (CTIF). This shows how important preventive measures are to minimize fires and their devastating consequences, as the current data and trends prove that are discussed in the last publication of the CTIF ( Cif.org ).

It is to be hoped that this incident serves as a warning and that fire prevention in Rüsselsheim and beyond will come into focus. The fire brigade and all other emergency services have once again demonstrated that even in difficult situations they have a good hand and be able to act quickly.
