Scheunen fire in Brey: fire brigade in large -scale operation, two injuries!

On Friday afternoon, May 9, 2025, there was a significant fire in Brey in a significant fire in a residential building that also affected a larger barn and adjacent garage. The incident occurred around 2:20 p.m. Fortunately, the residents of the affected buildings remained unharmed. However, two firefighters suffered minor injuries in their efforts, as the mayor of the Rhein-Mosel association, Kathrin Laymann, announced. The police confirmed that the fire broke out in the back yard of an apartment building and then led to a full closure of the federal road B9 in order to facilitate the work.

The Brey fire brigade was alerted and, supported by other weirs, quickly met at the scene to control the fire. Firefighters of the Spay and Braubach volunteer fire brigade supported the emergency services on site to combat the flames and minimize possible damage.

Details and challenges

The fire brigade was associated with challenges because the flames spread quickly. Despite the rapid reactions of the emergency services, the barn could not be saved. The circumstances of the incident were anything but simple and required coordinated measures from several firefighters.

A comparable incident occurred on October 28, 2022 when the Brey fire brigade was called to an accident on the Rhine. A motor yacht had run on the Braubacher reason and endangered the safety of the crew, which could be saved in time. Several diving pumps and gripping trains were used here to control the situation and bring the yacht ashore.

The fire brigade's operations are not only important locally, but also reflect general trends in the fire brigade. According to the report № 29 of the CFS CTIF, which includes a comprehensive analysis of fire statistics for 2022, the collected data covers many aspects of the fire service worldwide, including the number of fires, fire victims and also deaths among firefighters. In this report, the type of fire brigade operations in 57 countries are examined, which underlines the relevance of well -trained and operational fire brigade.

These incidents illustrate the challenges in front of which fire brigades are facing and the need for effective crisis management. Mayor Kathrin Laymann and the fire brigade show that they are prepared to cope with such situations.

For the on -site firefighters, support was not only important in the form of personnel reinforcement. The catering by the municipality, as in the case of port rescue in 2022, also plays an important role in maintaining the operational readiness over long operating times.

Overall, both the latest operations and the analyzes in the CFS CTIF report document the immense importance of fire work and the constant need to train and prepare emergency services.
