In the small town of Lahrbach, Fulda, a fire broke out in a 4x8m free-standing barn on August 28th, at around 23:30. Thankfully, no people or animals were injured in the incident.
The news about the fire was originally transmitted by Police Headquarters East Hesse, and was later picked up by news aktuell. The fire departments from Tann, Lahrbach, and Hilders responded promptly to the incident, but by the time they arrived, the barn and the agricultural equipment stored inside had been completely destroyed.
The estimated property damage is approximately 10,000 euros. Despite the extensive damage, no cause for the fire has been definitively determined. The investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing by the Fulda Criminal Police.
Thilo Wehner, the head of the operations management and command service at the Police Headquarters Osthessen since April 2025, is leading the investigations. Wehner is responsible for commanding critical deployments, which may include such investigations. However, the current head of the police directorate Osthessen leading the investigations is not explicitly named in the search results.
