Having the roof truss fire: two row houses in flames!

Pfalzburger Straße, Bremen, Deutschland - Today, on June 28, 2025, a heavy roof truss fire in Hastedt, Bremen, employed the fire brigade. The alarm received at 4:55 p.m. when the first emergency calls from Pfalzburger Straße entered the control center. Already when the fire brigade arrives, a strong smoke development was found, which pointed to the fire in the pointed floor of a two -storey row house with a expanded attic, which quickly spread to the neighboring building. Fortunately, all residents could be evacuated in good time so that nobody was harmed.

But the situation was dangerous: two cats from the attic apartment were missing. The fire brigade used several respiratory protection teams to combat the fire. A lot going on, because a total of around 80 emergency services of the fire and rescue guards 1, 2 and 3 as well as the voluntary fire brigades Bremen-Easterholz and Bremen-Farsten were deployed. Two turntable ladders were also requested to support fire fighting. Despite the challenges, the emergency services managed to quickly control the fire, but the roof had to be partially removed for the reversal work, which left massive damage.
