The fire in a spray products company in Braunschweig continues to concern the emergency services. A total of six people were injured during the fire response.

The investigation into the cause of the fire will not begin until Friday at the earliest, a police spokesman said. It is still unclear why the fire broke out on Tuesday afternoon in a company that develops and fills aerosols and spray products. The fire brigade fought the flames around the clock. The emergency services brought the fire under control on Wednesday. The police cannot begin their investigation until after the fire has been fully extinguished, the spokesman added. A fire department spokesman said pockets of embers were found using a drone and fought with a water cannon. A specialist company arrived to burn off the gas with a mobile torch. A flame up to three meters high emerged, as the fire department said. There is no danger to the population, the spokesman added..
