Fire brigade operation in Neunkirchen: Electrical device triggers alarm!
On Tuesday morning, May 20, 2025, the fire departments in Neunkirchen were alerted when a supposed building fire was reported around 9 a.m. As n-land.de reports, the emergency services from Neunkirchen, Kersbach, Rollhofen, Speikern and Lauf quickly moved out to Schulstrasse/Trutenäcker.
On site it turned out that it was not a large fire, but a small electrical appliance that had caught fire. This was located near the wall of a property and could be extinguished within five minutes. Fortunately, the emergency services from Lauf were able to stop their journey as the situation quickly calmed down. Despite the rapid firefighting, the facade of the building was damaged by smoke and soot. It remains unclear which device exactly was affected. It is suspected that it was a test device for car headlights, which was not connected to the power when the fire department arrived. The reason for the device igniting remains unknown.
