Fire Department Responds to Multiple Incidents on August 30, 2025
On a busy day for the Dresden Fire Department, they were called out to six different incidents on August 30, 2025. Here's a rundown of the day's events.
The day's first call came in at 7:29 PM, for a beeping smoke alarm in a high-rise apartment building on Holbeinstraße, Johannstadt. Upon arrival, no smoke or fire was initially visible, but a caller reported seeing smoke at the building's rear side.
A team of 29 firefighters from various stations was quickly mobilised to respond to a car fire in Kirchenweg, Mobschatz, at 10:53 PM. Crews from the local fire station in Mobschatz and other stations fought the blaze using a quick-attack line and foam. After extinguishing the fire, an excavator helped to spread the pile, and glowing embers were extinguished with heavy foam. Approximately 20 square meters of waste were burning on a pile about three meters high.
An unconscious person was found on a sofa in the affected apartment on Holbeinstraße. Medical measures were immediately initiated, and a doctor was requested. The injured person was later transported to a hospital by the rescue service. In 74 cases, the services of a doctor were required throughout the day.
A check at the rear side of the Holbeinstraße apartment found no smoke, but a team in breathing apparatus later found smoke from burnt food in the affected apartment. The police have initiated investigations into the cause of the fire in the apartment.
The emergency services were also alerted to a fire of waste materials in Maxener Straße, Lockwitz, at 1:59 PM. No further details about this incident have been released.
In addition to the six fire incidents, the emergency services were alerted a total of 221 times on August 30, 2025. Of these, 16 deployments were for technical assistance, such as supporting traffic accidents or providing carrying assistance for the rescue service. There were also four false alarms triggered by automatic fire alarm systems.
