Fire danger in Burg: Two cars in flames – investigations underway!
On the night of Friday, July 11, 2025, a dramatic event occurred in Burg auf Fehmarn when two vehicles burst into flames and were completely destroyed. The fire department and police responded immediately after a couple noticed the fire on Theodor-Storm-Straße around 3 a.m. The 37-year-old woman immediately recognized that her VW Golf, which she had parked the day before, was affected. Her husband quickly dialed the emergency number and ensured that help arrived quickly. But despite all efforts, any support came too late: the VW Golf burned down completely and another car parked next to it was also affected by the enormous temperatures. The total damage caused is estimated to be at least 24,000 euros, although the amount of damage to the second vehicle still has to be determined, as ln-online.de reports.
The Oldenburg criminal police have started the investigation on suspicion of arson. According to initial assessments, both the course of the fire and the traces on the VW Golf indicate deliberate actions. This devastating situation not only leaves residents shocked, but also raises questions about security in the region. Arson is not a rare phenomenon in Germany; Between 2014 and 2024, over 2,600 cases were recorded by the police, according to data from the Federal Criminal Police Office published on Statista.
