Flammeninferno in Samswegen: 30 hectares on fire, investigations are running!
Samswegen, Deutschland - The last few days have been anything but quiet for the fire brigade in Saxony-Anhalt. On June 29, 2025, a surface fire was reported to Samswegen, which quickly spread over an entire field and into the adjacent forest areas. An attentive witness informed the emergency services at 12:20 p.m., and then 90 firefighters from surrounding towns moved to fight the fire. The farmer, who was currently plowing his field, quickly acted to stop the spread of the fire. Ultimately, almost 30 hectares of arable land and 2 hectares of forest were affected. The amount of damage has so far been unknown, but the fire brigade assumes negligent arson, which is why investigations have been initiated, such as [sachsen-anhalt.de] (https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitteilungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=singl e & tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5BController%5D = base & tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5bud%5d = 581154 & chash = C65F9459E4DCDA2B1178C87F6) reported.
The fire brigade also reached a fire in the forest near Zielitz on the same day. This was reported at 6:00 a.m. and again at 2:20 p.m., and the fire areas were just a few meters from each other. The largest area was about 80 m². Here, too, the investigators assume arson, and the Haldensleben police are asking witnesses for information.car in Oschersleben in flames
In the night of Monday, a vehicle fire broke out in Oschersleben, which may also be due to arson. The car was on fire around 1:10 a.m. on Gartenstraße and was completely destroyed. The fire brigade was quickly on site, but the heat development was so strong that a neighboring house was also damaged. The total damage is estimated at around 10,000 euros, and the investigation into the cause of the fire is still in progress, such as [tag24.de] (https://www.tag24.de/thema/feuerwehr Terze-heute/flamenauto-in-oschersleben-war-brandstiftung-die- 3075240).
The increasing number of fires not only makes the local emergency services listen, but also refers to global trends in fire statistics. The CFS CTIF has published the report № 29 for 2022, which contains comprehensive data on fires and fire brigade operations from 55 countries. The statistics cover a variety of facets, such as the number of fires, fire -related victims and the deaths among firefighters. The urgency is particularly emphasized to understand and combat the causes of fires, which is also important in our case of arson, as the report by cif.org illustrated.
