Fire brigade in action: Burning taxi in Sendling - driver desperately!

Euckenstraße / Passauerstraße, 80339 München, Deutschland - in Munich in the early evening of July 1, 2025, the fire brigade was used when a taxi at the Euckenstraße/Passauerstrasse intersection opened in flames. The alarmed firefighters received the news of the fire at 5 p.m. and immediately set off. On site it turned out that the engine compartment of the vehicle had caught fire and that heavy smoke spread under the bonnet. A brave passerby tried to extinguish the fire himself, but failed to bring it completely under control, such as "https://www.tz.de/muenchen/stadt/hallo-muenchen/muenchen-taxi-brand-feuerwehr-sendling-flammen-motorhaube-93813404.html"> tz.de reported.

The fire brigade's extinguishing action was precise: a respiratory protection squad opened the taxis bonnet and deleted the flames using a hollow jet tube. After the first missions, the taxi driver shocked that this was already his sixth vehicle fire of this kind. The reasons for this accumulation of fire incidents have so far remained a puzzle for the emergency services who concentrated on the report of the situation and ensured that no further dangers went from the vehicle. The Presseportal.de informed about the details of the incident.

fire statistics - a worldwide phenomenon

Data from the report № 29 of the CFS CTIF show that the fire statistics for 2022 offer a comprehensive analysis and come from 55 countries that represent around a fifth of the world's population. This analysis shows that the type of fire brigade operations, the number of fires as well as the fire victims and fire thoustsdsfalls were documented in the period from 2018 to 2022.

The scope of such incidents makes it clear that the fire brigade is always faced with unexpected challenges. Nevertheless, the emergency services do an excellent job to combat fires as quickly as possible and to ensure the safety of the population - a fact that cannot be recognized enough. In particular in urban areas such as Munich, where the likelihood of vehicle fires increases, their quick reaction is of the utmost importance.
