Cloud of smoke over Munich: major fire at school in Milbertshofen!
On Wednesday afternoon, October 8, 2025, a fire broke out in the north of Munich, causing sensational smoke. A large, dark cloud of smoke was visible from afar and stretched over the city until the afternoon. The fire originated on a construction site near a school in Milbertshofen-Am Hart, more precisely on Torquato-Tasso-Straße. Fortunately, classes had already ended at the time of the incident, so there were no injuries, as [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/bayern/brand-in-muenchen-heute-das-ist-der-grund-fuer-die-rauchwolke-im-norden-der-stadt-112022689) reports.
The fire department was alerted at 1:21 p.m. after concerned residents reported the fire. Quick intervention was necessary because insulation material on the construction site had caught fire. Around 50 firefighters battled the flames and the fire brigade was fortunately able to bring the fire under control quickly. The school building remained undamaged, which is thanks to the fire brigade and the quick response, informs Abendzeitung.
Cause and investigation
The exact cause of the fire is still unclear. The criminal police have started their investigation to get to the bottom of the matter. This event reminds us how important effective fire protection is. According to the statistics on fire safety in Germany, preventative measures are crucial in order to identify and combat dangers in a timely manner, as FeuerTrutz describes.
Another incident occurred on the same morning in Laim, where a bus caught fire while driving and burned out completely. Such incidents underline the need for well-prepared fire protection and raising awareness of this issue among citizens and companies.
The fire department's quick response shows once again that the emergency services in Munich are well prepared in an emergency. In such a moment, a quick alert can be crucial in order to avoid something worse.
We hope that the investigation will provide timely information about the exact circumstances of the fire and that such incidents can be prevented in the future. Stay safe and be aware of possible fire hazards in your area!
