Smoke alarm in Genthin: microwave ensures evacuation!
On November 10, 2025, a dramatic incident occurred in Genthin, on Einsteinstrasse. At 6:24 p.m. there was a lot of smoke in the apartment building due to food left in the microwave of a 72-year-old resident. The fire department and police were quickly on the scene and evacuated the apartment building. Fortunately, there was no heavy smoke and no one was injured. The emergency services were quickly able to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. [sachsen-anhalt.de](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1[action]=single&t x_tsarssinclude_pi1[controller]=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1[uid]=611198&cHash=6abb44721d2fc4a1e74bab89b6ca6bf0) reports that such incidents occur again and again due to overlooking cooking processes and the dangers should not be underestimated.
Just a few hours later, around 11:02 p.m., the fire department was called upon again, this time in Gommern on Magdeburger Straße. A 71-year-old witness reported a fire in a gazebo. When the fire brigade arrived, extinguishing work was already underway as the fire was quickly identified. However, the material damage is considerable, in the lower five-digit range. dThe criminal police have now initiated investigations into suspected arson and are asking the public for information.
Break-ins and vandalism the following day
The next morning brought light into the darkness of further incidents. On November 11th, at 9:47 a.m., a break-in was discovered in a pizzeria and a kebab shop in Biederitz OT Heyrothsberge. Unknown perpetrators targeted the hospitality industry and tried to break down the door of the pizzeria, while they successfully broke down the door of the kebab food truck opposite. The property damage here only amounts to a three-digit amount, but the criminal police are also active here and have secured traces in order to track down the perpetrators. Information from the public is also of great importance here.
As if that wasn't enough, the police noticed a bizarre incident on Schartauer Straße in Burg the night before. A 37-year-old man was carrying an ice cream cone that he had previously stolen on his shoulders. This case was quickly prosecuted and criminal proceedings were initiated, with the ice cream cone being seized. A strange incident that may have caused a gleeful smile from the officials.
Traffic accident with a disabled driver
Furthermore, on the same day there was a traffic accident in Biederitz OT Gerwisch, which affected a 20-year-old driver. While turning, she overlooked the vehicle that had the right of way, which led to a collision. The young woman was slightly injured and had to be taken to hospital, while the total damage to the vehicles reached a low five-figure amount.
These incidents highlight how important it is to always be alert - whether when cooking, driving or protecting your own property. Fire hazards in particular are often greater than expected. According to [bgw-online.de].
