As Tagesschau , the fire brigade moved out to the locations in Buchberger Strasse and Britz at around 3 a.m. The fire in two different places quickly caused massive damage, but fortunately no injured people.

The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fire quickly, but the property damage was estimated on a significant sum. After the extinguishing work, the fire brigade handed over the deployments to the police, who are now examining the background of the cowardly.
on the history of the attacks
The police are now facing the challenge of determining the background of these arson. In the past, DHL vehicles were the target of politically motivated attacks. It is striking that the fire in Schönwalde remained unnoticed for a long time and could spread unhindered before it was brought under control by the 46 fire brigade.

Feuertrutz provides an overview of various statistics in fire protection and shows how important precise data are to better understand and prevent future fires.The current arson attacks are highlighting the need to not only invest in fire protection, but also to address the prevention of politically motivated attacks.
