Large -scale operation of the fire brigade: residential fire in Freising without injuries!

On Sunday afternoon, June 23, 2025, a fire broke out in an apartment building in the Freising district of Vötting, which quickly resulted in an extensive use of the fire brigade. At 4:50 p.m. the alarm arrived in the fire station, and the emergency services were busy extinguishing until the early evening. Thanks to the quick intervention, the fire could be brought under control relatively quickly, and luckily no people were harmed. All residents were able to leave the building in time, which significantly defused the situation. Nevertheless, three residents had to be treated for circulatory problems - presumably a consequence of the high temperatures and the excitement for the incident.

The strong smoke development meant that the residents in the area were asked to keep windows and doors closed in order to avoid possible health impairments. The investigation into the cause of the fire and the amount of damage was immediately initiated by the criminal service of the Erding criminal police. Further information can be expected in the course of the investigation, such as Süddeutsche reports.

a worrying trend

It is particularly alarming that this incident was already the second major fire in the Freising district within a very short time. Only recently, on May 7, 2024, the fire brigade had to deploy a similar deployment on Rotkreuzstrasse. There, a fire raged in a ground floor apartment of an apartment building, which led to some residents fled to their balconies. An attentive neighbor bravely provided first aid and saved several people with a ladder.

a total of 58 firefighters and almost 40 rescue workers from the aid organizations such as BRK, Malteser and Johanniter were mobilized. The tragic record that day: six people, including three children aged five to ten years, suffered smoke poisoning and had to be taken to the hospital. The mayor Tobias Eschenbacher was relieved on site about the comparatively glimpseed injuries and what Merkur reported.

a challenge for fire protection

statistics show that fires in residential complexes still pose a great risk. According to the Feuertrutz, there is no uniform statistics on the causes of fire and consequences in Germany. This is the responsibility of the respective federal states, which the situation is not exactly simplified. A better understanding of the causes of fire could help prevent future incidents and to improve fire protection in residential buildings.

The latest fire events in Freising make it clear how important preventive measures and good education are. Residents should be aware of the risks and know how they can react quickly and safely in an emergency. The fire brigade and other aid organizations do valuable work here and are often the first to be there in crisis situations.
