House Fire on Suttnerweg in Badenstedt, Rescue of a Family of Five Through Using Portable Ladders, Occurred at FW Hannover

In the heart of Badenstedt, Hannover, a house fire broke out at Suttnerweg, causing quite a stir in the community. The fire department, including both professional and voluntary firefighters, responded swiftly to the scene at approximately 8:20 PM.

Upon arrival, a brave neighbour had already rescued three children, their mother, and the father from the burning apartment using a ladder from the first-floor balcony. The father sustained minor burns and was treated by emergency medical services on the spot. The neighbour, along with the children and their mother, were later transported to hospitals in Hannover for further examination and treatment, where they were found to be suffering from smoke inhalation.

The Hannover Fire Department deployed a total of 58 personnel and 23 vehicles to combat the blaze. Firefighters in protective gear initiated ventilation measures following the extinguishing of the fire, which was extinguished 15 minutes after the alarm was raised. However, the extent of damage from the fire cannot be determined at this time.

The cause of the fire remains a mystery, with the police having initiated an investigation to uncover the facts. For further information, please contact Christine Reime at Feuerwehr Hannover, whose email address is [email protected] or by telephone at 0511 912-1405.

Christine Reime is the press officer for the Hannover Fire Department, and the actual name of the department head is not explicitly stated in the found documents. However, Gregor Fleischmann, who is mentioned as the deputy leader in multiple reports about a major fire in Hannover-Misburg in 2025, is believed to be the current head, as no other leader has been identified.
