Plumes of smoke over the A24: Major fire near Kremmen causes chaos!
A spectacular fire kept the fire brigade in the Oberhavel district busy in the early morning of June 25, 2025. Near the A24 motorway near Kremmen, several bales of straw were on fire. The fire brigade has been active since the early hours of the morning to fight the fire and defuse the situation. Despite intensive extinguishing work, there were significant obstructions to visibility on the adjacent motorway, which made the traffic situation temporarily critical.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the fire brigade, visibility has now improved, but drivers are still advised to exercise particular caution - especially at the Havelland triangle. The collision of the smoke clouds with the morning traffic caused additional difficulties for many vehicles.
The cause of the fire remains unclear
The exact cause of the fire is currently unknown and remains the subject of investigation. Firefighters have been working for hours to put out the fire, which is expected to take several more hours. The large amount of smoke was visible from afar and not only caused restrictions on the motorway, but also drew the attention of residents to what was happening.
Such incidents are not entirely unusual, although statistics on fires in Germany show that the causes are varied. However, it is important to emphasize that prevention measures are constantly being improved to minimize such situations in the future. The Institute for Loss Prevention and Damage Research (IFS) emphasizes that early identification of the causes of fire is crucial in order to prevent damage. More information can be found on the IFS website.
Crews remain on scene to ensure the fire is completely extinguished. The situation is evolving and local residents and motorists on the A24 are being kept up to date with developments. A clear call to everyone: stay careful and follow the fire brigade's recommendations.
