Fire in Biesdorf: 34 firefighters save residents from burning house

In the early Saturday evening, around 5 p.m., the Berlin fire brigade was alerted to a fire in Altentreptower Straße in Berlin-Biesdorf. In an apartment on the fifth floor, a full fire broke out. First deployment of the volunteer fire brigade from Hellersdorf were quickly on site and immediately found that the fire had spread to the entire apartment. As a result, a total of 34 firefighters fought against the flames, supported by the professional fire brigades from Hellersdorf, Marzahn and the Kaulsdorf fire brigade.

"Fortunately, there were no injuries," said a spokesman for the fire brigade. Several residents whose security was in danger could be evacuated in good time and temporarily accommodated in a neighboring building.

The consequences of the fire

Although the fire could be deleted quickly, the affected apartment is uninhabitable due to the prevailing destruction. The fire brigade was busy securing the building during the one and a half hours of operation and extinguishing the last fire nests.

The fire brigade and the police are now working closely together to determine the exact causes of the fire and exclude further dangers. The ongoing investigations are crucial to ensure the security of the residents in the long term, such as Marzahn-hellersdorf reported.
