Large fire disaster in Ingeleben: roof structure of a house in flames!

On Saturday morning, April 24, 2025, a fire broke out in the roof structure of an empty house in Ingelben, district of Helmstedt. The emergency call was discontinued around 5:20 a.m., and several fire departments and the technical relief organization (THW) were mobilized to combat the flames. The assignment lasted around four hours, with the building being badly damaged and threatened. There were no injuries in the incident, but there are currently no information on the cause of the fire, such as "https://www.ndr.de/niederrichten/niedersachsen/braunschweig_harz_Goettingen/dachstuhl-Brnteleben-haus-insturführdefaehrdet ,aktuellbraunschweig15308.hml" TARGET = "_ blank" rel = "noopener noreferrer"> ndr reports .

Two days earlier, on April 22, 2025, there was a similar incident in Ingelben at 5:19 a.m. when the fire brigade was alerted in an empty residential building due to the roof structure. When the emergency services arrived, thick smoke was seen, and the roof structure was in full fire. In order to enable efficient fire fighting, the outdoor attack on three sides with C-jet pipes was started. Part of the false ceiling collapsed during the extinguishing work, which is why a planned internal attack was canceled due to the high risk of collapse. The fire fighting was then continued exclusively from the outside using a turntable ladder until the "fire from" could be reported at 7:50 a.m. An expert from the THW was consulted to assess building statics, and the police confiscated the location of the fire. The exact cause of the fire is still unclear and investigations are underway. Around 70 emergency services, including the fire brigades Heeseberg North, South, East and Mitte as well as police and emergency services, were deployed, such as "https://regionalhute.de/helmstedt/dachstuhl-in-flammen-die-fuer-feuerwehr-helmstedt-1745298502/" Target = "_ blank" rel = "noopener noreferrer"> regionalheute.de reports .
