Great danger in Schwerin: fire in the basement of an apartment building!

In Schwerin, on August 17, 2025, a threatening incident occurred in an apartment building in the Mueßer Holz district. In the early afternoon hours, a fire in the basement was reported via the emergency call. The exact causes of the fire are still unclear and the criminal police are investigating suspected serious arson.

The Schwerin professional fire department and the Schlossgarten volunteer fire department quickly went to the scene. Thanks to their quick and effective extinguishing work, the fire was prevented from spreading to the living quarters. The fire department evacuated the building and ensured that residents could get out of their apartments safely.

Quick evacuation and damage assessment

During the extinguishing work it became clear that several basement compartments were affected. One resident suffered smoke intoxication and was treated at the scene, but was later released. The estimated material damage amounts to around 30,000 euros.

After the extinguishing work was completed and the building was thoroughly ventilated, the residents were allowed to return to their apartments. The situation was tense, but everything remained under control thanks to the dedicated efforts of the fire brigade.
