Great fire in Angermünde: Fire brigade is fighting for flames for days!

Neukünkendorf, Deutschland - In today's Brandenburg there was a devastating major fire that excited the tranquil Neukünkendorf. On Tuesday afternoon, June 11, 2025, a fire broke out in a warehouse, which spread quickly and fulfilled an area of ​​around 4,000 square meters. The hall, which served as a warehouse for a nearby biogas plant and for materials from the disaster protection, was on fire in a short time. Three firefighting teams were on duty until well after midnight to fight the fire that could only be deleted from the outside, since the hall threatened to collapse, such as rbb24 reported.

The fire brigade had to fall back on water from the nearby Mudrowsee while extinguishing to keep the flames in chess. The roof structure of the hall collapsed under the heat, but fortunately there were no injuries among the emergency services or residents. Nevertheless, the residents were asked to close windows and doors because thick smoke moved into the area. While the fire continued to rage, the exact amount of damage could not yet be quantified, but it is certain that about 3,500 tons of straw bales were destroyed. The cause of the fire has so far been unclear and the criminal police have investigated.

Fire brigade use and challenges

A total of up to 65 firefighters were deployed who did everything they could to control the fire. "It can be seen depressing how quickly such an inferno can arise," said a fire brigade spokesman who described the challenges of the extinguishing work. "Unfortunately we had no choice than just acting from the outside." Another fire this week occurred in the Ore Mountains, where a fire also went from straw bales and attacked a house. Firefighters from several communities were deployed to prevent worse things. Auch dort war der Einsatz unter schweren Atemschutz aufgrund des dichten Qualms notwendig, wie tag24 reported.
