Gazebo in Pasewalk ablaze - 15,000 euros in damage!
On the night of Friday, June 20, 2025, the quiet allotment garden in Pasewalk was rocked by a devastating fire. A gazebo that stands not far from the former district office near the traffic light intersection between federal highway 104 and the cuirassier barracks burst into flames. The fire was reported to the rescue control center of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district at around 11:45 p.m. The fire was visible from afar and the fire department had to react quickly.
When the police and fire brigade arrived, the gazebo was already fully engulfed in flames. The Pasewalk Volunteer Fire Department's operation was in full swing with 22 firefighters and five vehicles. Thanks to their quick action, the flames were prevented from spreading to trees in the adjacent cemetery area.
Drama in the allotment garden
The difficult operation lasted a total of three hours. But the accident was not without consequences: a neighboring garage was also damaged by the heat of the fire. The estimated material damage amounts to around 15,000 euros. It is particularly regrettable that the criminal investigation department has now taken over the investigation into the cause of the fire. A fire investigator should be called in the same day to shed light on how Northern Courier reported.
Such operations are not an isolated case, as the risk of fire in allotment gardens is a serious issue. According to an analysis by ifs-ev.org Improper handling and technical defects are often the causes of fire damage. Fire departments must therefore be well prepared in order to be able to intervene quickly in emergencies.
Previous incidents and prevention
A similar alarming incident occurred in Pasewalk on November 5, 2023. Here too, gazebos were fully engulfed in flames, which made a widespread rescue operation necessary. 18 firefighters and a large number of vehicles were involved in this operation. The quick extinguishing success prevented the fire from spreading to a second arbor and led to an operation that lasted over three hours, as the Pasewalk fire department recorded on its website Pasewalk Fire Department.
The municipality and the fire department have a responsibility not only to respond to calls, but also to take measures to prevent fire hazards in community facilities and to educate citizens about safe use practices. This occasion highlights the importance of always keeping a close eye on the safe handling of fire and combustible materials in order to avoid such dangerous situations.
