Great fire in Barth: 250,000 euros in damage and dramatic rescue operation!

Gewerbegebiet am Mastweg, 18356 Barth, Deutschland - The fire brigade of Barth was called yesterday, July 17, 2025, to a major fire in a commercial area that broke out around 3:40 p.m. An attentive witness informed the operations control center of the Neubrandenburg police headquarters about the striking fire that raged in a warehouse of a waste disposal company. The alarm led to the posting of a total of 53 firefighting comrades, which came from Barth, Pruchen, Zingst, Küstrow and Fuhlendorf. After intensive extinguishing work, which dragged on until after midnight, the fire was finally under control.

high damage damage and warnings to residents

The devastating consequences of the inferno quickly became obvious. The property damage is estimated at around 250,000 euros. In addition, the strong smoke development caused worrying warnings to the residents who were asked to keep windows and doors closed. At the fire location itself, which has now been confiscated, the criminal police have taken over the investigation into the cause of the fire. On July 18, 2025, these will be supported by a fire event that should check exactly what the fire triggered. For the fire brigade, this was a tough commitment that required a lot of commitment to prevent greater damage.

Brand in warehouse in Utzedel in the district of Mecklenburg Seenplatte

Similar scenarios also took place elsewhere. In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday there was a fire in a warehouse in Utzedel, near Demmin in the Mecklenburg Lake District district. Damage of around 75,000 euros was reported there. Five vehicles, including three vans, suffered severe damage from the fire. Fortunately, the hall itself remained largely intact. The fire brigade took almost three hours to extinguish the fire, while a fire cause investigator should check on Wednesday morning whether the fire might have broken out in one of the vehicles. Such incidents raise questions, especially with regard to the safety of deposits and protection against fire.

For the citizens of the region, it remains to be hoped that such fires will remain the exception and the security measures in the companies concerned will be increased in order to better prevent such dangers in the future.
