Devastating fire in Schönwalde-Glien: 800,000 euros in damage!
Last night there was a devastating fire in an industrial area in Schönwalde-Glien, which largely destroyed the vehicle fleet of a logistics company. As [coolis.de](https://coolis.de/2025/06/17/havelland-verheerender-brand-zerstoert-liefer Flotte/) reports, a total of 14 disused delivery vans that had been in use for Amazon since 2011 were completely burned out. By acting quickly, the fire brigade was able to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring warehouses, but the material damage is still estimated at around 800,000 euros.
The extinguishing work, which involved around 50 firefighters, proved challenging due to the violent explosions of tires and engines. Firefighter Sven Kraatz described the scene as dramatic and emphasized the complexity of the operation. The fire went unnoticed for a long time and spread quickly, meaning that emergency services had to do everything they could to avert an even greater catastrophe. The effects of heat could also be seen on vehicles that were not directly on fire.
Investigations are ongoing
The mayor of Schönwalde-Glien was shocked by the incident and expressed suspicion of a possible arson attack. Police have launched an arson investigation, with investigators also considering political motives. Another incident on the same night in Schöneweide, in which 23 vehicles were affected, leaves questions unanswered and fuels speculation about a series of arsons. There is a letter of responsibility for this, but it has not yet been officially confirmed.
The fires shed light on the challenges in fire protection. According to extensive statistics on fire protection in Germany, which feuertrutz.de provides, the precise recording and analysis of fire causes remains of great importance. Complete recording could not only help clarify such cases, but also improve prevention and protection.
In this tense situation, it remains to be seen what further information the police and criminal investigators will uncover. The incident in Schönwalde-Glien is therefore not only in the public eye, but also in a larger context that affects the security of our logistics infrastructure.
