Balcony fire in Bamberg: Fire brigade successfully launches an operation!
On June 20, 2025, there was a remarkable fire brigade operation on Don-Bosco-Strasse in Bamberg, near the concert hall.

Several fire brigade units then moved out to intervene quickly. [inFranken] reports that the emergency services immediately moved towards the source of the fire using heavy breathing apparatus.
A ladder and a C-shaped jet pipe were used to extinguish the fire in order to bring the flames under control as quickly as possible. In the affected apartment, a second respiratory protection team found that there was no visible fire spread, but that there was a lot of smoke. The fire brigade carried out targeted ventilation measures to remove the smoke from the rooms. [Bamberg my city] informed that the fire was effectively prevented from spreading to other floors.
Luckily no injuries

Those responsible at the fire department were impressed by the rapid response of the emergency services and the professional handling of the operation. At a time when more and more fires are occurring, especially in urban areas, the combination of quick reactions and effective extinguishing techniques is more important than ever.
