Roofing fire in Schöneberg: dramatic rescue operation of the fire brigade!

Hauptstraße Ecke Kärntner Straße, 10961 Berlin, Deutschland - something is brewing together in Berlin-Schöneberg! On Wednesday afternoon there was a devastating fire in the attic in an apartment building on the main street on the corner of Kärntner Straße. The fire brigade was on site with a large contingent of 104 emergency services to combat the "extensive roofing fire". The situation was tense, because several residents had to get to safety through a scaffolding, while others were saved by the emergency services. Fortunately, according to initial knowledge, there were no injuries, which is a little ray of hope in such a situation.

as the [Tagesschau] (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/REGERINAL/BERLIN/RBB-RAUCHSASAEULE INFORMENTION-FURE-HAUSDACH-in-Berlin-Schoeneberg-100.html) was a large, dark smoke cloud over the residential area that could be seen from afar. The challenges for the firefighters were high. In view of the brutal heat, the emergency services had to be replaced regularly to ensure their health.

The fire service of the fire brigade

The fire brigade used aerial ladders and several pipes to externally extinguish the fire. Parts of the roof fell onto the sidewalk, which complicated the situation again. In addition, a special vehicle was used for the air quality measurement. The surroundings were cordoned off over a large area, and a daycare center in the danger area was also evacuated as a precaution. A resident, Viktoria T., reported that she was on the way to the daycare center with her son when she learned from the fire. She planned to spend the night with her family in Kleinmachnow after the scaffolding on which work on the roof took place had to be used as a escape route.

The fire brigade was on site with at least 15 vehicles and was able to restrict S-Bahn traffic between Schöneberg and the Bundesplatz. The main street towards Kleistpark was completely closed, which led to traffic disruptions. All of this shows how quickly such a situation can also influence the infrastructure of a district.

A look at fire protection statistics
