Five fire brigades have to move out: a barn fire in Baimhofen causes great damage

A barn burned heavily in the Ansbach district.

Five volunteer fire brigade teams had to appear for the mission. 

Dombühl - On Monday (April 12th) a barn in the Baimhofen district of Dombühl (district of Ansbach *) caught fire.

What triggered the fire is still unclear, according to a message from the Central Franconian Police Headquarters *.

But the remaining damage amounts to a large sum.

Due to heavy clouds of smoke in a barn, several people called the police around 6.30 p.m.

Several voluntary fire brigades from Dombühl, Kloster Sulz, Brunst, Feuchtwangen and Schillingsfürst were deployed.

They were able to extinguish the fire in a timely manner.

The fire brigade was supported by the local operations management support group (UG-ÖEL) of the Ansbach district.
