Troisdorf Waste-Hall Blaze Rages Overnight With Fire Still Not Under Control

Investigators view the recent Bavaria fires as accidental or technical, not arson.

Overview

  • Up to 200 firefighters battled flames at the roughly 3,600‑square‑meter bulky‑waste hall, attacking from outside because of possible collapse risk as experts assessed structural safety.
  • Water demand outstripped the public supply, prompting crews to pump additional water from the River Sieg to sustain the operation.
  • Authorities issued smoke warnings urging residents to keep windows closed and avoid using air conditioning, while RSAG suspended right‑bank collections and closed its Troisdorf site to customers.
  • No injuries were reported in the Troisdorf incident, and the cause remains under investigation.
  • In Fischbachau, a holiday home roof fire involving the photovoltaic area was quickly controlled; one firefighter was lightly hurt, damage is in the low six figures, and investigators suspect a technical defect, while a separate Miesbach kitchen fire caused about €20,000 in damage and displaced a four‑person family to emergency housing.
