Terrible fire in Emmerke: Weed burner sets three buildings in flames!

Emmerke, Deutschland - On Saturday, June 23, 2025, there was a gruesome incident in Emmerke in the Hildesheim district: a weed burner was the trigger for a devastating fire that affected three buildings. According to [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/niederrichten/niedersachsen/hannover_weser-leinegebiet/unkraut-brenner-seter-set-drei-baeude-in-brand ,aktuell hannover-160.html) the fire broke out on the facade of a house and quickly reached for a adjacent residential building and a barn over.

Fortunately in misfortune: all residents were able to get to safety in good time so that there was no injured. The fire brigade was used with two beams to fight the flames. However, the affected buildings are now at risk of collapse and are therefore no longer habitable. The resulting damage is estimated on a higher six -figure amount.

warning of weed burners

The police urgently warned of the use of weed burners, especially in the case of dryness, since the risk of fire increases significantly in such times. A similar incident occurred in Kötz, where a man unimaginably edited his hedge with a Bunsen burner and thereby gave a fire. Despite his attempt to extinguish the fire itself, only the fire brigade could help, whereby the damage was around 300 euros. These events also show that the method of weed removal is widespread, but is also quite risky. As reports [Augsburger Allgemeine] (https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/guenzburg/heckenbraende- through-unkrautbrenner-so--avenge-sie-teure-and-brandfahr- 109543276), the use of such devices is allowed if they are used correctly.

according to BFB CIPI are weed burners effective tools for chemical-free weed control and work with operating temperatures between 650 and 1000 ° C. However, you can unintentionally cause fires when using improper use.

prevention and security measures

In order to avoid fires, users should always observe the safety instructions of the manufacturers in advance. Make sure that weed burners only use circumstances in windless conditions and be sure to remove combustible materials in the area. A safety distance from buildings and other combustible objects is essential. A regular look at the environment during work and a thorough check of the treated areas can also help minimize dangers.

The incidents of the past few days should be an apprenticeship for all of us: security is going on! Even if these devices have their advantages, responsible use is essential to avoid serious damage and dangers to life and life. Be vigilant and better deal with the house and garden!
