Drama in Troisdorf: Washing machine in the basement triggers the fire brigade's large -scale operation!

On Sunday evening, June 9, 2025, the fire brigade in Troisdorf was called for a dangerous commitment. Shortly after 10 p.m., residents reported a fire in a two -family house on the street in the Kirchtal. The residents had already left the building and were waiting for the fire brigade's forces. A total of around 40 firefighters were on site who were quickly there after numerous emergency calls were received.

An attack force under respiratory protection went to the basement and discovered a burning washing machine there. The fire could be deleted quickly, causing major damage. Head of operations fire inspector David Sparacino ordered the use of two high -pressure fans in order to transport the smoke out of the building. Despite the quick intervention, the living rooms of the house became uninhabitable, and the families concerned found temporary accommodations to acquaintances.

connection with another fire

Two hours earlier, around 8 p.m., another fire was reported in Troisdorf. Plastic toilets lined up in a storage area in the Oberlar district burned together, and the fire hit the height meter high. Due to the strong smoke development, many callers reported a deep -black column of smoke that could be seen far. The fire brigade was also required here to prevent the fire from attacking adjacent residential containers. 120 firefighters were necessary to control the fire, which recorded an area of ​​150 square meters. After the extinguishing work, the area was flooded with foam to extinguish any embers.

The investigation on Monday morning has not yet given a clear cause of the fire. However, it is not excluded that technical defects or intentional arson have led to the incidents. Damage of 150,000 to 200,000 euros is estimated for the residential containers. Fortunately, there were no injured people in both fires.

fire statistics and prevention measures

The events in Troisdorf once again illustrate the importance of fire protection and prevention measures. According to the Feuertrutz there is no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany. Regular updates and statistics on the causes of fire could contribute decisively to improve fire protection. Technical defects are often one of the most common causes of fire in the case of the washing machine.

Targeted monitoring and constant training of the emergency services are essential to ensure security for everyone. The present fire events confirm the relevance of this offensive approach in the fire protection area.

The police have sealed the basement with the burning washing machine and remains on site to carry out further investigations. Initial knowledge indicates a technical defect as the cause of the fire. The street in the Kirchtal had to be closed in both directions for about an hour during the extinguishing work. The situation remains tense and the fire brigade with its emergency services remains vigilant.
