On Tuesday evening, August 13, 2025, a serious truck fire occurred in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg near Leipzig. At around 10:41 p.m., the driver's cab of a parked truck on Schönauer Landstrasse was set on fire.

The firefighting attack proved to be challenging; The fire department used several vehicles and extinguishing foam to bring the fire under control. After about 30 minutes of intensive extinguishing work, the fire was finally extinguished. The truck's loading area remained intact, while the driver's cab was completely burned out.
Investigation and possible cause of fire
Although fortunately no one was injured during the operation and the driver was not at the scene, the cause of the fire remains unclear. The police have started an investigation and cannot rule out arson. During the operation, there was considerable danger for the emergency services due to the massive heat development and the toxic fumes released, which further complicated the operation, as blick.de reports.
The material damage caused has not yet been quantified. The circumstances of the incident continue to be investigated to avoid possible security risks in the future. The fire department's quick response prevented anything worse from happening, and residents can breathe a sigh of relief that the fire was finally brought under control.
