Roof structure fire in Zühlsdorf: Fire brigade fights to protect the house!
Early on Friday morning, October 10, 2025, the fire department was alerted to a major fire in Zühlsdorf (Oberhavel). An empty, single-story commercial building on Birkenwerderstrasse was completely engulfed in flames when emergency services arrived at around 6:00 a.m. The fire brigade was immediately called upon to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring houses. According to information from rbb24, the situation was assessed by operations manager Sebastian Danziger as critical.
A total of 48 firefighters from three fire engines were involved in fighting the fire. In addition to water, extinguishing foam was also used to optimize the extinguishing effect. The empty building suffered significant damage from the flames and is considered to be at risk of collapse. The total damage amounts to a sum in the six-figure range, as reported by brandenburg-news24 states.
Rescue operations and investigations
Thanks to the quick action of the fire brigade, something worse was prevented because the immediate measures resulted in no personal injuries; the building was unoccupied at the time of the fire. Firefighters remained on site until midday while police took further action to determine the cause of the fire. The cause of the fire is currently unknown and criminal investigations are ongoing.
The challenge of this day once again shows the importance of effective fire protection. According to the statistics from FeuerTrutz, precise data about fire causes and consequences can help improve fire protection and develop preventive measures. There are currently no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany, which limits the possibilities for targeted prevention.
The subsequent extinguishing work was lengthy; they lasted until midday or afternoon. The fire brigade and police remain on site to cordon off danger areas and avoid endangering the surrounding area while the cause of the fire continues to be urgently investigated.
