Drama in Wiesbaden: Great fire at the warehouse - fire brigade in a permanent dispute!

A big fire in a warehouse in Wiesbaden, the fire brigade kept in suspense on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred in the Mainz-Kastel district and was reported on emergency call 112 at 4 p.m. Callers reported considerable smoke development, which penetrated from doors, windows and the roof of the two -storey building. When the fire brigade arrived, the warehouse was already on fire, which made the extinguishing work significantly more difficult.

The fire brigade's forces had to act quickly to prevent the flames from skipping to adjacent houses. Due to the severe damage inside the building, a direct internal attack was not possible. Instead, an excavator was used to remove the warehouse and get to the embers. Parts of the building collapsed during the operation, which further increased the danger situation.

Overall, one person suffered slight burns in the incident, but was able to leave the hospital in the evening. The fire brigade fought the flames for almost several hours, and after extinguishing the fire initially seemed under control. The next morning, however, passers -by noticed rising smoke, which indicated that embers had ignited again.

The cause of the fire remains unclear on the current state of the investigation. Police investigations are underway to clarify the exact circumstances of the fire. No statement can currently be made about the amount of the damage. Experts indicate that the causes of fires can vary very different, which makes the determination of the reason complex.
