Double garage on fire
03.08.2025 – Early on Sunday morning, the Offenbach fire department was alerted to a reported house fire with possible danger to people and children in Offenbach Tempelsee.
At 5:59 a.m., the professional fire department and the Rumpenheim volunteer fire department were immediately dispatched to the reported scene. While still on the way, the Bieber volunteer fire department was also alerted to provide operational support.
On site, the situation turned out to be different than initially reported: A double garage detached from the residential building was on fire and the flames were already threatening to spread to the residential building. The emergency services responded immediately and launched an extinguishing attack with two C-pipes to prevent the fire from spreading to the adjoining residential building. A third C-pipe was then deployed via the turntable ladder.
Fortunately, all residents of the affected house and the neighboring buildings were able to leave their apartments in time and on their own. There was no personal injury.
The fire was under control at around 6:30 am. The extinguishing work and ventilation measures were completed at 08:00.
