Burn garbage containers in Rosenheim: fire brigade in large -scale use!

Rosenheim, Deutschland - In Rosenheim, several garbage containers burned today in the area "In the Scheat". According to Rosenheim24 , numerous emergency services were discovered as an eyewitness flames from the containers. The Rosenheim police inspection confirmed the incident that occurred on June 18, 2025. Two larger garbage containers were on fire, although the exact cause of the fire is still unclear. The volunteer fire brigade quickly had the fire under control and was able to completely extinguish the flames.

An acute danger situation initially seems to be averted, but the police have so far no specific information about the cause of the fire. The investigation on site is running and further press releases are expected that will give more details about the background of the incident. The fire comes at an unfavorable time, since the region has already been affected by a series of similar incidents in the past few weeks.

serial arson in Rosenheim

In the past five weeks, the police in Rosenheim have to struggle with a variety of fires. There were a total of 23 fire cases during this time, mostly in waste paper containers. This series brought it to a total damage of around 155,000 euros, such as the Passauer New press reported. The last fire was on the night of Saturday in Brixstrasse, where not only several containers, but also an adjacent tree was affected. The property damage incurred here amounts to around 6,000 euros.

The investigation has already borne the first fruits. The police were able to arrest five suspects, all from Rosenheim and the district. Witnesses had reported suspicious people on the recycling islands, which triggered the search for the perpetrators. The first suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening after a fire on Georg-Aicher-Straße. The investigators now check whether there are connections between the arrested and the latest fire events. Video recordings and secured traces support the investigation.

causes of fire and prevention

The repeated fire events raise the question of the causes and possible prevention measures. According to the IFS, fires can often be triggered by improper handling of waste in Müllcontainers. This underlines the need to remain sensitized when it comes to dealing with combustible materials, especially in residential areas.

It remains to be seen which knowledge the ongoing investigations will bring and whether they indicate that there is a systematic problem behind the fire series. In any case, the population seems to be worried and hopes for quick action by the police and fire brigade to avoid further incidents.
