Kronach: Huge warehouse fire causes 500,000 euros in damage!
On Wednesday afternoon a fire broke out in a warehouse in Kronach-Neuses, causing immense damage. The Bavarian police reported that employees of a waste disposal company noticed the flames around 3:15 p.m. and immediately alerted the fire department. Fortunately, there were no injuries in the incident.
Over 100 emergency services were on site, including the fire department, police, technical relief organization and the rescue service. Inside the hall, mostly stored paper was burning, which led to a lot of smoke. The fire department was able to successfully prevent the flames from spreading to other parts of the building. It is a great stroke of luck that the rapid response was able to avert so much damage.
High property damage and initial investigations
The first estimates of the damage amounted to around 500,000 euros, which shows how serious the situation was. InFranken reports that the Kronach police station initiated initial investigations immediately after the fire. The investigation into the cause of the fire is now being continued by the fire investigators of the Coburg criminal police.
The heavy smoke development was another risk that unsettled not only the firefighters, but also the residents in the area. Nevertheless, the situation was quickly brought under control thanks to the coordinated efforts of all rescue workers involved. The rapid alerting by the employee was crucial here.
It remains to be seen how the investigation will continue. But one thing is certain: this incident will remain a topic of conversation in Kronach-Neuses for a long time to come. The authorities and the companies affected now have their hands full clarifying the exact circumstances and preventing future incidents of this kind.
