Major alarm in Stuttgart: Expansion joint fire causes fire service to last for hours!
Today, June 8, 2025, there was an extensive fire brigade operation in Stuttgart-Stammheim. At 12:50 p.m., residents alerted the fire department because of heavy smoke in the roof area of an apartment building on Freihofstrasse. When the emergency services arrived, it was immediately clear that everyone in the building had gotten to safety independently and uninjured.
The fire department investigated the situation and discovered an expansion joint fire between two buildings. In order to reach the source of the fire, parts of the roof and a wall had to be opened. This process turned out to be complex and lengthy. The fire department's respiratory protection and measurement service also checked the building for elevated carbon monoxide levels to ensure the safety of residents.
Lengthy follow-up work
The follow-up extinguishing work took a long time and required extensive ventilation measures. After completing this rescue and extinguishing work, the building was secured and the site was handed over to the police. The roads and railways in front of the building had to be closed throughout the operation, which led to significant traffic delays. The Stuttgart police have now started an investigation into the cause of the fire.
A total of different fire department units were involved, including:
| Unit | role |
|---|---|
| Professional Fire Department Fire Station 2 | Inspection service, equipment trolley logistics |
| Fire station 3 | fire engine |
| Fire station 4 | Fire engine, equipment truck for respiratory protection/measuring technology |
| Fire station 5 | Equipment trolley logistics |
| Stammheim volunteer fire department | Fire engine, personnel transport vehicle |
