Evacuation in the Erding district office: The smell of rubber causes an alarm!
On July 9, 2025, around 12:10 p.m., the Erding district office became the scene of an unusual incident that initially caused a stir. The alarm siren wailed and all employees had to evacuate the building as quickly as possible. One source of excitement was the strong smell of smoke coming from the underground car park. Operations manager Benjamin Töpfermann, the second commander of the Erding fire department, was quickly on site and led the emergency services, including the fire departments from Erding, Altenerding and Oberding as well as the rescue service and the police.
The situation quickly developed into a fire drill, as the cause of the alarming smell ultimately turned out to be less dramatic. A woman had backed into the second basement, causing burnt rubber to flow into the air. Despite these unconventional circumstances, the emergency services were able to quickly bring the situation under control.
Duration and result of the evacuation
The evacuation lasted about 20 minutes, and all staff used the time to take an unscheduled lunch break outside. A little fright in everyday office life that had a happy ending. The entire scenario demonstrated how important regular evacuation and fire drills are in order to be well prepared in an emergency.
