Fire in Höxter: Animals in danger! Fire brigade saves without injuries!

On Thursday evening, February 7, 2025, the emergency services were alerted to the green mill in Höxter. The alarm took place at 6:36 p.m. after a room fire was reported in a family home. On site, the firefighters found a slight smoke on the ground floor, which was displayed by triggered smoke detectors. Fortunately, there were no more people in the building, but it was assumed that there were possibly animals there.

The Höxter fire brigade received support from the forces from Brenkhausen, the emergency services and the police. An attack force under breathing protection entered the house and discovered that both a wood stove in the hallway and a tiled stove in the adjacent room were in operation. The cause of the fire was quickly determined: melted candle wax had ignited, which could be recognized quickly due to the characteristic mate.

Details and the cause of the fire

In order to rule out further dangers, a container with the melted wax was brought outside. As a result, the building was freed from cross ventilation and the use of a high -performance fan of flue gases. The assignment, which was carried out by several firefighters, ended at 7:40 p.m. The site was then handed over to the police, the investigation could take into account the exact cause of the fire.

Another remarkable incident occurred in Höxter on Friday, November 15th, in the former student dormitory in Louis-Flotho-Straße. Around 9 p.m. a room fire broke out on the third floor. Here, too, the Höxter fire brigade was quickly on hand and was supported by surrounding towns.

The fire in the room was already in full fire, which required the fire brigade quickly. Several breathing apparatus wearers were in use to search the building, since initially there was suspicion of possible people in the building who could be responsible for the fire. The violent opening of numerous doors was necessary to fully search the building.

The cause of the fire in this case remains unclear and the police are currently investigating investigations to examine negligent or intentional action. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this assignment, but considerable damage to property caused the fire and extinguishing measures. The city of Höxter again warned of the risks when entering abandoned buildings. The assignment lasted about three hours and the building remains closed.

These incidents illustrate the challenging work of the fire brigades in the region and the dangers that arise from fires.
