Fire devil in Friedrichshain: Police attacked at Brand!

In the night of January 16, 2025, hooded people on Rigaer Straße in Berlin-Friedrichshain provided a dangerous situation. As RBB24 reported, residents reported the police and fire brigade after unknown people set fire to several fir trees. When the emergency services arrived at 1:15 a.m., several of the hooded were already positioned on the surrounding house roofs. Due to the impending danger that these objects could throw down, the fire brigade was initially not able to combat the fire.

only when a special unit with protective equipment arrived could the fire be deleted. However, these forces were attacked with pyrotechnics, as the Berlin police said in a press release. Fortunately, there were no injuries among the emergency services. The investigation into the incidents was taken over by the police protection of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office in order to identify the polluters and to be accountable, as was reported on Berlin.de.

The night in Friedrichshain not only revealed a dangerous situation for the emergency services, but also the increased violent arguments in this popular Berlin area. The authority now faces the challenge of finding those responsible for this attack and the intentional fire.
