Shed fire in Böblingen: column of smoke over the city – 40,000 euros in damage!
On June 2, 2025, there was a dramatic fire on Kohlerstrasse in Böblingen when a shed burned out completely. The column of smoke could be seen from afar, which quickly alerted the fire department. When emergency services arrived, the shed was fully ablaze. Despite the explosive situation, the fire brigade managed to prevent the fire from spreading to the adjacent residential building. However, there was still significant damage to the building.
A spokesman for the fire department confirmed that ten people were present in the residential building during the incident on Kohlergasse. One person suffered minor smoke inhalation and had to be treated on an outpatient basis. The police estimate the total damage at around 40,000 euros, although the cause of the fire is still being investigated. It remains unclear whether there is evidence of intentional arson.
Fire service operation under difficult conditions
The fire department reported “approach on sight” when the emergency services discovered the cloud of smoke responsible for the fire. They were able to quickly bring the fire under control, but the shed was completely burned out. According to initial police assessments, the shed was not properly insulated, which could have contributed to the fire.
The fire brigade's quick and decisive action prevented anything worse from happening. However, the adjacent residential building sustained some damage and the situation caused concern among residents.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing and local authorities will release further information shortly. As soon as more information about the background to the fire is known, reporting will continue. The incident moved the minds of residents and the entire Böblingen community.
Reporting on this dramatic incident will continue to inform the public of further developments. Initial public reactions show great interest in the security measures in the area and how such incidents can be avoided in the future.
