Large apartment fire in Ludwigslust: 10 people evacuated!
On June 17, 2025, shortly after 4:30 p.m., a fire broke out in an apartment building on Johann-Georg-Barca-Straße in Ludwigslust. The cause of the fire, which started in the kitchen of an apartment, is currently unknown, according to various reports, including from news.de and presseportal.de, communicate.
Shortly after the fire broke out, 47 comrades from the volunteer fire departments from Ludwigslust, Techentin, Kummer and Hornkaten were mobilized to put out the fire and evacuate the residents. A total of ten people were brought out of the building to safety. Thanks to the support of the city council and housing administration, alternative accommodation could be organized for the evacuees.
Investigations into negligent arson
The criminal police have launched an investigation and are investigating suspicions of negligent arson. While the fire was being extinguished, the fire site was confiscated by the criminal investigation service. Fortunately, no people were injured or any human damage reported. The estimated material damage amounts to around 500,000 euros.
Such incidents are not only concerning because of the financial damage, but also shed light on the numerous causes of fires in apartment buildings. A detailed analysis of ifs-ev.org shows that kitchen fires are among the most common causes of fire, making this incident particularly tragic.
The fire in Ludwigslust puts a finger on the wound: numerous fires occur in the summer months that could have been avoided. The population is therefore still asked to be careful and observe fire safety measures. As investigators investigate the causes of the fire, the safety of residents remains a critical matter that should not be pushed into the background.
