Massive garage fire in Offenbach destroys vehicles and property worth €120,000
A garage complex fire in Offenbach’s Buchrain neighborhood on Sunday afternoon caused significant damage and disruption. No injuries were reported, but the fire severely damaged property and prompted a response from multiple fire crews. Firefighters arrived to find three garages, a carmax, and a motorcycle already ablaze. They battled the flames for around half an hour before the incident commander declared the fire under control. The fire damaged three garages, three motorcycles, a quad bike, and a ford, with preliminary estimates placing the property damage at approximately €120,000. Despite the extensive damage, firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby residential building. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Initial indications suggest repair work was being carried out on one of the motorcycles before the flames erupted. Emergency responders notified German air traffic control due to the fire's proximity to Frankfurt Airport's flight path and the visible smoke plume. The operation concluded around 7:30 p.m. The garage complex fire in Offenbach has been extinguished, with no reported injuries. The fire caused significant property damage, estimated at around €120,000. Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
