Gardena in Buchholz is on fire - fire brigade fights desperately

in the district of Harburg, more precisely on Itzenbüttler Weg in Buchholz in the Nordheide, there was a major fire on Sunday night. A gazebo burned completely and needed the use of several fire brigades that were informed around 1 o'clock. During the fire, banging noises could be heard and meter -high flames were illuminated the night, accompanied by a large cloud of smoke that was visible over the arbor. The fire brigade had significant difficulties in water supply because there was no hydrant on the site and the next one was around 500 meters away. In order to extinguish the flames, the fire brigade used water from its fire trucks and built a line to the next hydrant. The fire was combated by several sides, with a firefighter opened the hut with a chainsaw to reach embers. Despite the dramatic situation, the flames could be spread to other huts.

There were no injuries during the mission. The police took over the investigation after the end of the mission and secured traces at the fire location. So far, information about the possible cause of the fire has not been published by a police spokesman. It remains unclear how the devastating fire occurred.

Another similar incident occurred in Quastenberg near Stargard Castle early Sunday morning. Here, too, a gazebo was on fire. When the fire brigade arrived, a massive column of smoke was visible. The volunteer fire brigades from Stargard and Dewitz Castle were on duty, whereby a quick intervention was necessary to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent buildings, trees and bushes. As in Buchholz, around 200 meters of hose line to a nearby hydrant were also required. Fortunately, there were no injuries; The owners of the arbor were in the nearby house and were informed about the fire by neighbors. The fire could be brought under control and deleted a short time later.

The police have also started investigations into the cause of the fire, although there is currently no specific information on the cause of the fire.
