Large deployment in Leipzig: False alarm in the high -rise and other fires discovered!
On Friday morning, June 20, 2025, there was a fire alarm in a multi -family house in the Leipzig district of Lößnig. The fire brigade received reports about strong smoke development in the roof structure and moved out with numerous emergency vehicles to Hans-Otto-Straße. The emergency services prepared breathing apparatus on site, while a fireman approached the roof structure with the help of a rescue manager. But a fire could not be determined; The alarm turned out to be a false alarm, caused by construction work under the roof structure. Fortunately, there were no injuries, although an ambulance was also on site to be ready to be ready if necessary. The situation was quickly brought under control, and the emergency services were able to end the operation without further incidents.
At 12:15 p.m., the fire brigade and the emergency services were again called for an assignment in Komarowstraße 2 in Mockau. A fire had been reported there, but it turned out to be less dramatic. A student had emptied a powder fire extinguisher without any recognizable occasion, which had triggered the alarm. The police filed a complaint for abuse of emergency aid.

In order to avoid hypothermia of the evacuated residents, the Leipzig transport company made a bus available. Firefighters went against the flames in the basement with respiratory protection and extinguishing water and ventilated the affected hallway. The rescue of a resident who was no longer able to escape from his apartment and was brought to safety with a turntable ladder was particularly challenging. The mission dragged on until around 2 a.m. before the emergency services made it possible to return to residents to their apartments.
The police have started the cause of the fire while the criminal police secured traces. According to media reports, the use of a fire cause investigator is also checked, since the fire caused considerable damage to property and at least one residential unit became uninhabitable. Around 40 firefighters and around 20 emergency services employees were involved in the mission, and the investigation continues.
