Residential fire in Seligenstadt: Damage 200,000 euros and no injuries!
On March 22, 2025, a heavy apartment fire occurred in Seligenstadt, in the Offenbach district. The single -family house on the street "Am Breitenbach" burned partly. So far, the exact cause of the fire is unclear what the police prompted to initiate an investigation. The property damage is estimated at around 200,000 euros, and the building remains uninhabitable for the time being.
The fire brigade received the alarming indication of a burning balcony at 4:50 p.m. Over 70 emergency services were mobilized to combat the fire. Immediate deletion measures were initiated, which dragged on until late in the evening. The flames quickly spread to the roof beams and a side of the house, so that extensive efforts were necessary to find the embers by partially covered.
The location at the site
The extinguishing work was challenging. The street in which the affected house is located had to be temporarily closed in order to provide the emergency services unimpeded access. Fortunately, the residents of the house were brought to safety in good time so that there were no injuries.
The total damage amount of around 200,000 euros reflects the destruction of the roof as well as considerable damage on the upper floor and on the facade of the house. Another time it becomes clear how quickly fires can develop and what devastating damage they do.
