Great fire in Suhl: Couple loses their home - 400,000 euros damage!

In the small town of Goldlauter-Heidersbach, which belongs to Suhl in Thuringia, a devastating fire caused great excitement on Sunday. A single -family house of a couple aged 57 and 58 was completely destroyed. The fire broke out in the carport, which together with a car was already in full fire when the fire brigade arrived. A huge cloud of smoke was visible over the affected house, which resulted in the immediate alarm of the fire brigade. However, the exact circumstances that led to this fire are still unclear, as [picture] (https://www.bild.de/regional/thueringen/suhl-wohnhaus-von-paar-bennied-bie-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder-nieder

Great problems occurred during the extinguishing work because the hydrants did not deliver enough water. To ensure the water supply, tank fire vehicles were used. Unfortunately, the house could no longer be saved, and the fire brigade decided to let it burn in a controlled manner. The estimated damage amounts to around 400,000 euros. Fortunately, the residents could get to safety in good time and remained unharmed.

Fire brigade use in focus

The use of the fire brigade was under high pressure in view of the adverse circumstances. In addition to the aerial ladder that was used to combat the fire, personnel deployment was also remarkable. However, this incident was not the only major fire in the region: on May 23, 2025, another fire in Suhl on the Steinsfeld street caused a sensation. At that time, two garages burned and the fire spread to an adjacent house. Here, too, the fire brigade was in large -scale operation, and a fireman suffered a circulatory collapse during the rescue operation, which was luckily without serious consequences, so [Feature] (https://www.insuedthueringen.de/inhalt.grossbrand-in-suhl-imsfeld-garagen-und-ein-Wohnhaus.

statistics in fire protection show that such incidents in Germany should be observed seriously. According to the Feuertrutz, there is no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics, but the available data provide important insights into the fires, causes of fire and the associated dangers. There is an acute need for regular updating these statistics in order to improve fire protection sustainably.

As the incidents in Goldlauter-Heidersbach and Suhl show, fire protection is an issue that concerns us all. Everyone can help identify and avoid potential dangers. The fire brigade and the corresponding authorities provide key services, but the population is also required to show mindfulness towards the fire -prone situations.
