Drama in the Cham district: Fire brigade fights against flames and storm damage!

In the district of Cham, there was a lot going on last week! The fire brigade's emergency services were challenged almost daily and had to demonstrate their skills in various operations. In retrospect from the week from July 14 to 2025, it can be seen that the fire fighters faced numerous challenges. According to KFV Cham there were several missions that ranged from kitchen fires to traffic accidents.

On Monday, July 14th, the fire brigade was called to a kitchen fire in Neukirchen B.HL.BLUT at 7:25 a.m., where the apartment was heavily smoked. Fortunately, the flame could be deleted quickly and the apartment was extracted. The day was rounded off by consulting a traffic accident in Cham and securing an apartment opening in Roding.

challenges of the week

Tuesday brought a whole series of unpleasant encounters when the fire brigade was called to a small fire in Schorndorf around 11:23 a.m. In addition, there were several tree clearance campaigns in Rötz, Walting and measures to secure the road on the flooded B85. The motorcycle accident near Wetterfeld was particularly striking, where the road had to be closed.

On Wednesday, July 16, the fire brigade was called to the major fire of an outbuilding in Zell at 6:34 a.m. The respiratory protection equipment carriers had to be used, as the residents were luckily unharmed. Further missions included a BMA alarm in Roding and the support of the emergency services in Waldmünchen.

special occurrences

The missions were not only shaped by fires - nature also demanded its toll. A storm and heavy rain caused chaos on the streets in the district on Tuesday. Cham, Wetterfeld and Pemfling were particularly affected, where several traffic accidents occurred and the fire brigade was responsible. On Sunday, July 20, a hut in Wolfersdorf was set on fire, but here too the fire brigade was quickly on hand and was able to prevent worse things. A motorcycle accident in Michelsneukirchen rounded off the operational week.

For the fire brigade, this review not only means many missions, but also a successful awareness of the dangers that can lurk in every corner. Whether with fires, water or accident aid- the fire brigade always moves on the spot and proves that it forms a safe network for the community. As the reporting of TAG24 , firefighters are not only active for fires, but also for door openings, as well as in rescues of humans and animals.
