Fellbach city tunnel closed again due to burning leaves!
On the evening of October 17, 2025, the city tunnel in Fellbach had to be closed due to a fire caused by burning leaves. The fire department responded immediately to the smoke in the tunnel and was able to quickly extinguish the fire. Fortunately, there were no injuries during the incident, which was quickly brought under control.
The closure lasted about half an hour before the tunnel could be reopened. The possible causes of the fire could have been caused by discarded cigarettes, which has led to similar incidents in the past. In fact, a similar fire was registered on Monday, October 16, 2025, which also led to the closure of the tunnel, as Kreiszeitung Böblinger Bote and Stuttgarter News report unanimously.
Repeated incidents
The repeated closures of the city tunnel due to burning leaves raise questions about safety and the necessary preventive measures. There is an urgent need to think about appropriate measures to avoid such incidents in the future. A preventative approach, such as increased education about the dangers of carelessly disposing of cigarettes, could be helpful in reducing the risk of fire in the tunnel.
Local authorities face the challenge of ensuring both security and accessibility in the region. It is hoped that further incidents of this type can be avoided to ensure the safety of road users.
