Chlorine gas alarm in Neubrandenburg: Fire brigade on a large scale!
On Monday morning, more precisely on June 30, 2025, a serious incident occurred in the Ihlenfeld suburb: a suspected leak of chlorine gas from a building caused a stir and a large deployment of police and rescue workers. The cause of the gas leak is currently unclear, but at least one person was injured and taken to hospital. Firefighters are on scene to thoroughly inspect the affected non-residential building and locate the source of the gas. Their goal: to stop the leak as quickly as possible and avert further dangers, as nordkurier.de reports.
As part of their operations, the fire brigade not only limits itself to investigating the causes, but also works to ensure the safety of residents. The emergency call came from the Ihlenfeld suburb and triggered an immediate response from the emergency services. Firefighters are well trained for such situations and use modern technology and protective measures.
Background on the dangers of chlorine gas
Chlorine gas is known for its danger. A look at the information from the Association of the Chemical Industry (VCI) shows that it poses health risks and therefore careful handling is essential. The “Chlorine” leaflet covers numerous aspects, from risk assessment to safe handling and emergency prevention.
The leaflet, which was republished in August 2018, is aimed at managers and specialists in companies that handle chlorine. It also contains important information on what to do in the event of a chlorine accident and what to do in the event of a gas leak. The focus here is on the safe handling of chemical substances, which is also important in the current case.
Previous operations and measures
Comparable cases show how important a quick reaction is. There was recently a chlorine gas leak in the technical room of the Königswinter indoor swimming pool, where the fire department was deployed with up to 80 people when employees discovered a white mist during a routine tour. Here, too, a potential danger was quickly neutralized through speed and expertise, which shows that well-trained emergency services can make a difference. After a thorough examination, the fire brigade found no danger, despite initial alarms, as feuerwehren.org describes.
The situation in Neubrandenburg remains tense. Residents are asked to remain calm and follow the instructions of emergency services. The fire department is under high pressure and has also called in additional units and experts to quickly find the source of the gas leak and ensure the safety of citizens. Additional information about safe use of chlorine could also be helpful in this situation to be prepared.
