Firefighting unit successfully suppresses substantial blaze in KFV Bodenseekreis
On the morning of September 19, 2024, a significant fire broke out in an attic at a former agricultural property in Billafingen, Owingen district. The incident was escalated to "Fire F3 Economic Building."
The Bodensee District Fire Association e. V. was instrumental in managing the situation, with up to 105 deployed forces and 20 vehicles involved in the extinguishing measures. This included two turntable ladders, numerous hoses, a turntable ladder from Stockach, the breathing apparatus vehicle from Markdorf, and the county's drone unit.
The local road Billafingen (L205) was completely closed during the operation to ensure the safety of the responders and the public. The Owingen Volunteer Fire Department and additional fire departments from the surrounding area were also called to combat the fire.
Sadly, parts of the attic of the building collapsed during the extinguishing measures, making the building no longer habitable and at risk of collapse. The police have initiated investigations into the cause of the fire, and the damage is estimated to be in the range of several hundred thousand euros.
Surrounding buildings were successfully protected from the fire, and the situation was reported as "fire under control" at 7:30 AM. The official website of the Bodensee District Fire Association e. V., where more information can be found, is www.kfv-bodenseekreis.de.
