Dramatic apartment fire in Rheindorf: dog saved, apartment destroyed!

Rheindorf, Deutschland - on May 24, 2025, around 4:10 p.m., the fire brigade in Leverkusen were alerted: a devastating fire in the Rheindorf district kept the emergency services in suspense. Flames hit the windows, and several emergency calls alerted the fire brigade and the emergency services. The professional fire brigade and the volunteer fire brigade units from Rheindorf, Bürrig and Hitdorf quickly arrived.

The horror was confirmed on site: a fire on the first floor of a residential and business building. Fortunately, there were no more people in the apartment. However, the fire brigade saved a dog out of the flames. The fire was deleted, but massive soot decays made the apartment uninhabitable. Thanks to the rapid intervention of the fire brigade, there was an assault on adjacent apartments and the staircase. The police sealed the affected apartment, while other units of the volunteer fire brigade ensured basic protection in the city.
