Major fire in Oberbergkirchen: millions in damage and evacuated families!

On the night of June 12, 2025, there was a devastating major fire in Oberbergkirchen, in the Mühldorf district, which affected four single-family homes. The fire department was alerted at 1:45 a.m. after a fire broke out in a double garage, which quickly spread to an adjacent single-family home. Despite the courageous efforts of numerous fire departments, it took several hours until the fire was under control and the extinguishing work was completed. Unfortunately, three firefighters were slightly injured during the operations, while the residents of the affected houses were fortunately able to be evacuated without being harmed. Stern reports about the dramatic scenes on site.

There are many indications that an electric car parked in the garage could have started the fire. The police have already started investigating the cause of the fire, although there is currently no evidence of intentional arson. In addition to the significant property damage, which police estimate to be in the “low seven-figure euro amount,” three of the four damaged properties are now uninhabitable. Affected residents face the challenge of being displaced from their familiar surroundings as they wait for news on the status of repairs. Rosenheim24 added these details and informs that the Mühldorf am Inn police station and the Traunstein criminal police station are working closely together to clarify the causes.

Consequences for those affected

The damage to the residential buildings is significant. Residents must now look for alternative accommodation while authorities consider what support can be offered. The extinguishing work demonstrated the strong cooperation between the fire departments in the region, who did everything in their power to prevent the fire from spreading further. The effort is recognized as exemplary, even if the consequences for those affected are serious.

Further investigations into the exact cause of the fire and further damage analyzes will be carried out in the coming days. The residents are worried about the situation being resolved quickly, not only to be able to return to their homes, but also to eliminate any possible security risks. With the destruction of first two and later additional residential buildings, the shock in the community is great.

It remains to be seen how quickly the cleanup progresses and what lessons can be learned from this terrible incident. In the meantime, the helpers and community support are showing even more solidarity with those affected and are supporting them. A ray of hope in this dark time could perhaps be the strength of the community that is now evident.
