Fire at Berlin Gesundbrunnen Disused Rail Building Contained as Investigation Begins

Firefighters faced a long hose run from Volkspark Humboldthain due to restricted access.

Overview

  • Crews searched the former substation for occupants, found no one inside, then extinguished burning refuse on both floors.
  • The operation was reported Friday morning near Hochstraße, with access hurdles requiring barriers to be forced open.
  • One firefighter sustained a minor hand injury and received on‑site treatment.
  • Long‑distance rail traffic on an adjacent track was temporarily halted during the response on railway property.
  • The scene was handed over to police, and a Brandkommissariat has opened an investigation with the cause still unknown.
