Storm warning for Oranienburg: Storms and heavy rain await us!
June 26, 2025 will bring unpleasant weather conditions for the Oranienburg region.

Jan Fielitz, head of fire protection, emphasizes that the fire department is well prepared and on alert.

Particularly worrying are the warnings from the DWD, which states that up to 30 liters per square meter of precipitation can fall in a short period of time, while hail with a diameter of up to two centimeters and winds of up to 105 km/h can be expected. In such conditions, certain precautions must be taken.
Preparations and warnings
The fire department in Oranienburg takes the weather situation very seriously and continually evaluates the DWD data. Strong gusts of wind were already recorded on Monday, which meant that the fire brigade had to carry out a total of 15 missions. An additional interim control center will be set up for this Thursday in order to be able to react even more quickly in an emergency.

Citizens are urged to be vigilant, avoid unnecessary paths and stay away from forests as many trees are in full foliage and can easily fall.
