Multitude of yellow sacks in flames at a waste disposal facility
In the Lake Constance district, a fire broke out in a storage hall within a waste management facility located in Friedrichshafen. According to reports, approximately 70 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze.
The fire threatened to spread to an adjacent smaller storage hall, but thanks to the swift action of the fire department, it was prevented from doing so. The fire department spokesperson confirmed that the fire was brought under control in the evening.
Mop-up operations are currently ongoing, with bags being removed from the hall using a wheel loader. The extinguished bags are being extinguished outside on the grounds of the facility.
Despite the smoke produced by the fire, no injuries were reported, and the ventilation and air conditioning system in a nearby hotel was temporarily turned off due to heavy smoke. No further information on potential damage or injuries was provided.
