Fire in the parking garage: car trailers burn, storage area in danger!
On Monday morning, October 6, 2025, the Mülheim an der Ruhr fire department received an alarming fire report at around 4:45 a.m. There was a fierce fire in a parking garage on Humboldtring, where two parked car trailers were engulfed in flames. The first arriving emergency services from the Heißen fire station found the situation in a critical condition because the fire had already spread over a metal facade into an adjacent storage area.
The fire brigade reacted promptly: three teams, wearing heavy breathing apparatus, as well as two jet pipes and a foam pipe were deployed to fight the fire. Thanks to the quick response of the emergency services, the fire was prevented from spreading to other parts of the parking garage. Due to the heavy smoke that spread throughout the entire building, high-performance fans were immediately used to remove smoke from the parking garage.
No injuries, but significant property damage
Fortunately, there were no injuries in the fire. The scene was handed over to the police, who have now begun an investigation into the cause of the fire. It remains to be seen whether technical defects or human error were the cause of the devastating fire.
The fire brigade reported a difficult fire situation, which, however, was contained thanks to their quick and coordinated action. The cooperation between the various units proved to be extremely effective, which was also due to the rapid alerting and mobilization of additional resources, which, as News.de reports, were requested immediately.
The city of Mülheim is also in this critical situation, in which the fire department is demonstrating its usual standards. The rapid response of the firefighters once again underlines how important their role is within the community and that they can be relied on in such emergency situations.
The exact circumstances of the fire remain unclear and are being investigated by police. The public will eagerly await the investigation as the city once again grapples with the issues of safety and fire safety. Such incidents are a stark reminder of how crucial preventive measures are to prevent fires and their devastating consequences.
