Report on the Final Fire Incident at the Gymnasium in Hannover-Misburg, Prepared by FW Hannover

The fire at the Muhleneweg primary school gymnasium in Hannover has been successfully extinguished, following a 24-hour operation that ended at 18:42 on Friday. The operation involved a total of 207 deployment forces from the fire department Hannover and the rescue service, with additional assistance from the Technical Relief Agency (THW).

The fire, which broke out on Thursday, spread rapidly, leading to large parts of the building collapsing. This has made follow-up operations challenging, with the fire department expecting odor nuisances in the area of the fire site in the coming days.

The fire department was able to bring the fire under control by 23:00 on Thursday. No casualties were reported as a result of the fire, and the head of the Hannover fire department, Gregor Fleischmann (acting head), is available for further information.

In the aftermath of the fire, safety inspections will be conducted at the fire site by the fire department Hannover in the coming hours as part of fire follow-up inspections. On Thursday, warning messages due to the massive smoke spread were published via the NINA and KATWARN warning apps and were withdrawn during the night.

Five deployment forces of the THW supported the work on site today, helping to ensure general fire protection and assistance in the Hannover area simultaneously. The fire department estimates the property damage at five million euros. No contact information is provided in this paragraph.

The fire at the Muhleneweg primary school gymnasium has caused significant disruption and concern in the community. The fire department is working diligently to ensure the safety of the area and to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
