Barbecue celebration in Straubing ends dramatically: 13 guests in the hospital!
A happy barbecue celebration at the construction yard in Straubing on November 7th, 2025 caused an unexpected turn of events. Around 50 people celebrated in a vehicle hall, but the celebration took a threatening turn. The grill operation took place without adequate ventilation, which ultimately led to several carbon monoxide poisonings among the guests. How Rosenheim24 Reportedly, two men raised the first alarm bells. They suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and were immediately taken to the hospital. Among them was an 85-year-old who even briefly lost consciousness. A 68-year-old also complained of health problems and also needed urgent medical help.
The emergency services were quickly on site and, after a thorough examination, had to take eleven other guests to the hospital. These also had elevated carbon monoxide levels, which were significantly above normal BR reported. The clinic immediately informed the police about the incident, who immediately went to the conditions at the venue and took appropriate measures.
The dangers of carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is an insidious gas that is produced when combustion is incomplete. It is not only colorless, but also odorless, which means the danger is often underestimated. In high concentrations it can have fatal consequences by preventing the transport of oxygen in the blood. The dangers of this barbecue became obvious, as many of the guests present found themselves in a critical health situation unnoticed.
The question remains why the celebration took place in such an unsuitable environment. Safety guidelines appear to have not been sufficiently observed in this situation. When barbecues are held indoors, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation to avoid such incidents and ensure the health of participants.
It is hoped that those affected will recover as quickly as possible and that such incidents can be prevented in the future through appropriate safety precautions. Such a celebration should bring joy - and not end in a hospital.
