Field fire at Hönow: A10 closed - fire brigade fights against swaths of smoke!

Today you have to keep your eyes open in Hönow, a municipality in Hoppegarten in the Märkisch-Oderland district: a violent field fire has spread on the grain fields and ensures thick air. On June 29, 2025, the fire, which was subjected to strong wind, was discovered and the situation is serious. Around 40 hectares of land are affected and the fire brigade is on site with a concentrated force. According to RBB24, 17 extinguishing vehicles and two drones are in use.

The effects can also be felt on the streets. On the A10 motorway, between the Berlin-Marzahn and Berlin-Hohenschönhausen junctions, there are considerable disabilities due to the massive smoke development. Drivers are asked to avoid this area and to follow the fire brigade's instructions. The warn app Nina has also warned of the dangers of the smoke, as reported Moz.de. This situation led to stagnant traffic on the A10, which was temporarily blocked towards Spreeau so that the deletion measures can be carried out optimally.

scope of the extinguishing work

The fire brigade is an impressive example of teamwork and professionalism. Several units from the Märkisch-Oderland and Barnim districts work together to control the fire. The cause of the fire and possible damage has so far been unclear, but the extinguishing work is in full swing.

In such fires, not only dangerous flames arise, but also considerable amounts of smoke and fire gases, which are often harmful to health. According to Feuertrutz, these gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, can be extremely harmful to health, depending on the nature of the burning materials. The passing smoke can not only affect the view, but also contain dangerous breathing toxins, which makes the situation particularly delicate on the surrounding roads.

The fire brigade is not only responsible for deleting fires, but also for the smoke in the smoke of the affected areas. The goal is the rapid removal of smoke to ensure the safety of people and animals in the area.

citizens are well advised to be attentive and, if necessary, use information from the responsible bodies, such as the fire brigade and the warning apps. It is to be hoped that the emergency services can soon bring the situation completely under control so that people in the area can take a deep breath again.
