Truck tractor in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg ablaze!
On August 13, 2025, a dramatic event occurred in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg: a truck tractor caught fire, which led to large-scale operations by the fire department. The fire was reported around 11:30 a.m. when firefighters mobilized several vehicles to tackle the flames. However, the vehicle was already in a critical condition when emergency services arrived. First, emergency services arrived on site to fight the flames with extinguishing foam. The extinguishing work took around 30 minutes, and the emergency services were confronted with massive dangers such as heat generation and toxic fumes. Luckily there were no injuries as the driver was not at the scene and the tractor was completely destroyed.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing. According to reports from blick.de The cause of the fire remains unclear, although police have not ruled out the possibility that it was arson. This uncertainty about possible criminal intentions brings back memories of other fires in the region, especially in Berlin.
Connection to current fire investigations?
There have also been several major fires in Berlin recently, which may have been linked to deliberate arson. Loud mz.de State Security at the State Criminal Police Office took over the investigation after 16 trucks burned in two commercial areas in Marzahn-Hellersdorf and Alt-Hohenschönhausen. These incidents appear to have political motives. In one of the affected areas, the Cemex company, which has already faced arson attacks in the past, was hit. The incident is reminiscent of a fire in December 2022, in which, among other things, cement silos in Berlin-Kreuzberg went up in flames and unknown perpetrators claimed responsibility for the crimes.
Overall, the situation in the region is tense as investigations continue and officials are investigating whether there is a connection between the fires in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg and the incidents in Berlin. The fire brigade in Berlin had to contend with several sources of fire at the time, and the water supply posed an additional obstacle while the emergency services had to act quickly.
