Enigmatic field fire near Holzhausen: fire brigade in large -scale operation!

Holzhausen, Deutschland - Today, on June 29, 2025, there was a large field fire near the Holzhausen excavator lake in the east of Leipzig. According to lvz.de, the fire broke out in a field between Seifertshainer Strasse and Seifershainer Straße. The fire brigade moved in with a large contingent consisting of twelve fire engines to combat the inferno.

The emergency services were immediately sent to the fire site, and other firefighters were requested to contain the fire. An approximately 14 hectare, not harvested grain field, which was on fire, was particularly affected. Due to changing wind gusts, the extinguishing work was extremely difficult, reported Tilo Melzer, military director of the Zweenfurth.

extensive measures to protect residents

The fire brigade took extensive protective measures to preserve adjacent forest areas and arcades from the flames. Thanks to the quick intervention, the flames could be spread to neighboring fields, which could also bring a residential property and a commercial property to safety. The smoke was visible to the Kleinpösna gravel pit and was noticeable over large parts of the city, including sightings of the Leipzig airport and the surrounding bathing lakes.

Despite the challenging conditions, two helpers had to be treated by the emergency services during the mission. The cooperation between the various fire brigades, the emergency services and an agricultural company from Engelsdorf and the local building yard was praised as exemplary.

Borsdorf Mayor Birgit Kaden was also on site and provided the emergency services with drinks and meals. Numerous comrades from various neighboring weirs were involved in the extinguishing work, including Zweenfurth, Borsdorf and Panitzsch.

To the present time, no information on the exact cause of the fire or the size of the affected field is available. The fire brigade also did not provide any specific information in this regard, which the population continues to leave in uncertainty about the exact background of the incident. However, the efforts to fight the fire were intensive and the fire brigade remains in use to combat the last embers.

The situation remains tense and it is expected that the extinguishing and cleanup work will take some time. Further information about the developments is expected, while the emergency services continue to work on site.
