House and Outbuilding Destroyed in Klein Schlaisdorf Fire, Probe Begins

Investigators are examining the scene following a difficult overnight response with limited water supply.

Overview

  • The blaze erupted around 19:30 on Feldstraße in Klein Schlaisdorf, starting in an outbuilding and quickly spreading to a single-family home.
  • Roughly 70 firefighters confronted scarce hydrants, relying on tanker shuttles before laying a 1.5‑kilometre hose line to a distant pond.
  • Two residents, both 53, evacuated in time and were uninjured, according to police.
  • Two gas cylinders exploded inside and fireworks ignited during the fire, but no injuries were reported.
  • The house is uninhabitable; owners Anke and Enrico Nowak are staying in an emergency holiday flat arranged by the mayor as the cause and damage assessment remain pending.
