Great fire near Wiesbaden: Flames rage on 75,000 square meters!

Nordenstadt, Deutschland - In the Wiesbaden area, the fire of a harvested field has caused excitement today. The emergency call to the fire brigade was reported at 3:50 p.m. when the fire quickly reached the east of the B455 between Mainz-Kastel and Wiesbaden-Erbenheim. Due to the continuing drought, the flame spread quickly, which made the fire brigade for an extensive commitment. The location required the support of additional firefighters and specialized vehicles, such as an airfield fire engine from the Lucius-D. Clay barracks, to effectively combat the fire. According to ffh.de the affected area included an area of ​​around 75,000 square meters, which corresponds to around 11 soccer fields.

The Wiesbaden fire brigade was supported by eleven volunteer fire brigades, and the fire brigades of the city of Mainz, the Main-Taunus district and the district of Groß-Gerau also actively help. During the operation, the supply of the emergency services was kept high at temperatures, and everything was done to prevent a new flame. Finally, the fire was successfully contained. However, the post -extinguishing work continued until the evening hours to fully secure the fire site. The cause of the fire is currently still unclear.

In the meantime, a basement fire in Nordenstadt caused another fire brigade campaign. Shortly after 1:00 a.m., residents noticed Rauch, whereupon the fire brigade was alerted. When she arrived, it turned out that the basement of an multi -party house burned and considerable smoke development had occurred. Some residents had already saved themselves, but three stayed on their balconies and needed the support of the emergency services. A respiratory protection squad of the professional fire brigade immediately went to fight against fire and received help from volunteer fire brigades from Nordenstadt, Erbenheim, Auringen and Delkenheim.

The structural structure of the building meant that the smoke spread to an adjacent apartment building, which required an evacuation of this building. The fire brigade used multiple high -performance fans to prevent further spread of the smoke. A total of 29 residents, including seven children, were safely accommodated. Fortunately, there were no injuries to complain, but the property damage is estimated at around 200,000 euros. The police have started an investigation into the cause of the fire, while the extinguishing work and ventilation measures lasted around four hours, reported [wiesbadenaktuell.de] (https://wiesbadenaktuell.de/2025/04/kellerbrand-in-nordenstadt-29- inhabitant-inicherheit-in.

risks and security

The causes of fire damage can be varied. Data from the IFS show that dry conditions and inadequate precautions often lead to such incidents. In view of the current weather conditions, such fires are not uncommon, and it is important to always be vigilant. The fire brigade has demonstrated its operational capacity at both locations, and the community has again shown how important mutual help is. Sometimes you just need a cool head and quick action to prevent worse things.

We hope that the causes of fire will be found quickly and wish everyone affected a lot of strength to cope with the damage. Stay safe and careful, especially now that the temperatures rise!
