Tragedy in Neuruppin: Apartment fire claims the lives of two cats!
A tragic apartment fire occurred on June 19, 2025 in Neuruppin, in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district. According to a report from Fire Department Magazine, the fire department was alerted at 11:14 a.m. with the alarm keyword “B/building large.” When the emergency services arrived, the smoke had already come thickly from the affected apartment and the residents of the apartment building had fled to safety.
The fire department, wearing breathing apparatus, was able to locate the source of the fire in the kitchen and immediately begin extinguishing the fire. Despite the quick reaction, it was too late for one of the two cats that were found in the smoke-filled apartment. Despite attempts at resuscitation, she could not be saved. The second cat already showed signs of smoke poisoning and was also immediately taken to a veterinary practice and treated there.
Unclear cause of fire and extensive property damage
The cause of the fire is currently unclear and the police have started an investigation. According to a report by bueromagazin, the property damage is significant and the extent of it is currently being determined. The affected apartment is uninhabitable due to heavy soot deposits, forcing residents to look for alternative accommodation.
In incidents like this, not only the lives of animals are affected, but also those of people. The causes of fires that often lead to such tragedies are often flammable work such as welding or soldering. These activities are often insufficiently supervised in private households, which means they can become sources of fire, such as Fire protection headquarters explained. Keeping a close eye on the use of such devices can be crucial here.
The fire department with 19 emergency services was active in this case, supported by the police and emergency services. After the extinguishing work was completed, the premises were ventilated and finally handed over to the police.
While affected residents and pets fight for help and support, it remains paramount to investigate the causes of such fires to prevent similar incidents in the future. Cooperation between the fire brigade and police remains essential.
