Two motorhome fires occurred in Germany months apart.

Fire on A99

On April 25 at around 6:14 PM, a motorhome caught fire on the A99 highway between the Haar and Hohenbrunn interchanges. The Grasbrunn fire department deployed 31 firefighters. They used breathing apparatus and a hand line; heavy traffic hampered operations. No occupants were injured. Traffic resumed after a brief closure.

Fire in Krummhörn

On the night of Sunday (February 15), a motorhome parked next to a residential building in the Fiskward area was completely destroyed.
