The situation is responsible because the fire brigades between Schönebeck and Nienburg are continuously busy with emergency services.

cause of the fires

The investigation has shown that a hot freight train triggered the fires on the embankments along the railway line between Schönebeck and Calbe. A technical defect in the brakes, known as hot runners, led to spark flight that set fire to dry grass. The Federal Police confirmed this course and found that there was no third-party criminal offense or a guilt.

The fire brigades had difficulties in the extinguishing work because the railway line was closed to the duration of the fire and the electricity was shut down. Despite the risks that work near electrified systems, the emergency services had to reach many fire spots, some of which were difficult to access. In addition, signal cables on the route were badly damaged, which will affect train traffic. The estimated damage amounts to several hundred thousand euros.
